“The acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, on Tuesday doubled down on proposed cuts to health services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), despite the coronavirus outbreak.”

That is an actual quote from Rush Limbaugh, your Presidential Medal of Freedom awardee …
“Who cares if it’s 10 times more lethal than the flu? … What does lethal mean? Does lethal kill you?”

Ashley Judd in “Norma Jean & Marilyn.”
To be technical, Ashley actually played the “Norma Jean” portion of the split personality. Mira Sorvino was Marilyn Monroe.
Maybe. That seems to be her nipple and areola, but I’m open to the possibility that it’s just some odd pattern in the fabric.
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead
Do not confuse Francisco Franco with James Franco. One of them was a shameless monster who exercised abusive control over those under his influence.
And the other was a Generalissimo.
Normally, when you do one of those post-apocalyptic movies about the last few people on a deserted Earth, you either have to invest in expensive CGI or have to pay major cities all the costs attendant to clearing the streets.
No need for that now!

So … pretty close to heaven. It may in fact BE heaven for heterosexual atheists.
Given that these pics are teases, I would not be surprised to hear that she leaked them herself.

Well, he has a point, but even within that obvious fact there are deceptions.
In the immortal and oft-misquoted words of Harry Truman, “The Buck Stops Somewhere Else.”
.@Yamiche: Why did you shut down the pandemic office in the White House
Trump first calls it a “nasty question.” Then says someone else shut it down. “I don’t know anything about it.”

I don’t know why he would admit that he has no clue what his subordinates are doing, particularly because it’s not true:
Not true, @realDonaldTrump. I wrote to you more than 600 days ago demanding answers after you fired the entire White House pandemic team. https://t.co/ICbHOkyeyY pic.twitter.com/71OF9gKA3N

Thanks to a good summary in The Atlantic, here is a quick recap of what the stable genius has done so far in response to Corona.
- He claimed that it was contained in America when it was actually spreading.
- He claimed that we had “shut it down” when we had not.
- He claimed that testing was available when it wasn’t.
- He claimed that the coronavirus will one day disappear “like a miracle.”
- He claimed that a vaccine would be available in months; Fauci says it will not be available for a year or more.
- He blamed the Obama administration for impeding coronavirus testing.
- He stated that the coronavirus first hit the United States later than it actually did. (He said that it was three weeks prior to the point at which he spoke; the actual figure was twice that.)
- He claimed that the number of cases in Italy was getting “much better” when it was getting much worse.
- In one of the more stunning statements an American president has ever made, Trump admitted that his preference was to keep a cruise ship off the California coast rather than allowing it to dock, because he wanted to keep the number of reported cases of the coronavirus artificially low. “I like the numbers,” Trump said. “I would rather have the numbers stay where they are. But if they want to take them off, they’ll take them off. But if that happens, all of a sudden your 240 [cases] is obviously going to be a much higher number, and probably the 11 [deaths] will be a higher number too.”
- He continues shaking hands and ignores the concept of “social distance.”
- He refuses to set an example by getting tested.
- In his Oval Office address that was meant to reassure the nation and the markets, he decided to ad-lib the teleprompter speech and misstated his administration’s own policies about incoming cargo, which had to be corrected. Investors heard that and, since they assumed a cessation of trade, stock futures plunged wildly while the president was still speaking.
- He called for Americans to “unify together as one nation and one family,” despite having referred to Washington Governor Jay Inslee as a “snake” days before the speech and attacking Democrats the morning after it.
And that’s only a partial list of his antics since the crisis began. It does not include the critical government entities he eliminated before the disease was a thing.
“Seriously, there’s nothing to be afraid of, people; all you need to do is find some spineless coward who will just give you a thumbs up and say ‘looks good’ regardless of your symptoms.”
Trump later continued the address by promising all Americans that enlisting the help of doctors like these will be free and easy under his newly proposed healthcare plan.
“Cobb added that given the severity of the situation and the disruption of the coronavirus, MLB might consider just starting the entire league over from scratch next year just to be fair.”
A .gif of Mira Sorvino in “Norma Jean & Marilyn.”
This was almost a quarter of a century ago (1996).
The other half of Marilyn, aka Norma Jean, was played by Ashley Judd.
Lindsay Wagner’s one nude appearance, in “Two People” (1973), has never been distributed in any decent quality, so these crappy images are all we have.
That was almost 50 years ago. She is now a well-preserved 70.
