Looking at this image, I wonder if that's the case here...
Also, why are the faces here not blurred? They've always made a big deal out of it...
Also saw a desk with a laptop on it, and a blurred area next to it. It was probably labeled "wifi password"...

Not sure how it works, but anyone can have images included on the google map. Most are those 360 degree photos. Zoom in somewhere, such as a road along a beach. Then switch to the street view thing on that road. Then in the small map in the lower left, zoom in somewhere until you see the blue circles. Those are usually the 360 degree photos that someone made available (not exactly sure what platform the do that on, that gets integrated into google maps). In the upper-left label, you can see whose photo it is.
In other places/hikes/businesses, you will sometimes see they were done by the Google person w/ the backpack.

To boil it down, you're saying some random guy uploaded this, and this is not from Google. I guess that makes sense.
But then, this is the White House. You'd think the content would be...what's the word...curated?

In fact, if you want to hike and photograph a trail or other 'sight' so that it can be included in Google Street View, Google will lend you a camera pack. You need to be a very serious hiker, though. Last time I checked, a couple of years ago, the pack weighed something like 40 pounds (18 kg, for those who don't think in pounds).

So with all those paintings of former presidents hung on the walls in various rooms...
Any prediction as to which room will have Trumps'?

I can think of a few appropriate places, but I'm not saying it as to not get political

There is nothing political about a golf green. Or did you think about something else ?

The toilet room!

I was going to make that suggestion, but it seemed too obvious.
Maybe it would be helpful in a washroom used by someone who's often constipated.

Games room, there has to be a dart board there somewhere.

Does the White House have a Bridge room?

And how are you certain that it is indeed how it is inside White House?

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you

Ah okay! Didn't knew this was above my pay grade.

Maybe it's really the House of Cards studio.

Yeah, true. I wouldn't know. Sander has to tell.

Isn't this some kind of security risk?
Though I am a small person, I would not want my house to be displayed like this. We are not sure who is watching. Especially on a pseudo-anonymous platform like the Internet.

They do (did?) guided tours in the White House.
This is probably that part.
Just some paintings, furniture and architecture.

When he first took office, people were joking that Trump would probably tweet them at some point.
I'm somewhat surprised that still hasn't happened.
Of maybe that's what covfefe was all about...

It could still happen
If not Trump, then the other senile old man who'll take office

Better than the White House, are many of the other places that can be explored virtually, like Stonehenge or the tourist volcano in New Zealand (that recently blew up).

Is this a real estate ad. Is it for sale?
|

Sure, want to buy?
I've also got a sweet deal on the moon and the Eiffel Tower if you're interested

In the Clinton administration, it was for rent.
