> President Donald Trump has fired the intelligence community’s chief watchdog, Michael Atkinson, who was the first to sound the alarm to Congress last September about an “urgent” complaint he received from an intelligence official involving Trump’s communications with Ukraine’s president.

I’ll say it again: I want COVID-19 to be bad. A total fucking disaster. I want the economy and the health system to collapse. I wish it didn’t have to come to this, but it does.

Yes, I’m sick. But I’m no more sick than the millions of mother fuckers who are willfully living a lie just so they can have their America back. I want the system to collapse so that there might be collective outrage and an awakening before it’s too late.

But I concede it might already be too late.
