Trump GETS HUMILIATED by his HORRIBLE VP Pick
Michael Popok explains the reason the fake “JD VANCE COUCH” meme stuck, and what it says about the candidate himself and the dire straits of the Trump Campaign that people so readily believed it, making Vance the “Sarah Palin” of 2024, a novelty gimmick of a pick that will drag MAGA under.

Trump’s LAWSUIT Plan EXPOSED As KAMALA SURGES
Trump and MAGA are in the process of following the Heritage Foundation LOSING blueprint for electoral destruction and filing suits in battleground states to try to stop Vice President Harris from being on the ballot in all 50 states, and to deny her the $91.5 million Biden-Harris war chest. Michael Popok breaks it down and explains why these cases will be dead on arrival.

Customer Reviews
Special counsel vs. C. Thomas…
July 11, 2024 WaPo, cnbc, and others report that senators want the DOJ to appoint a special counsel to look into Clarence Thomas and his possible corruption. Maybe that’s why Thomas is trying to undermine our ability to appoint them. Now possibly he can just rule that…hey! Those people are illegal.
So say Prince Thomas.
Unhinged in the highest form
Holy cow, there’s something seriously wrong with you people. You are deranged
Would be 5 Stars without Popok’s Performance on 7/4/24
Popok’s analysis of the presidential immunity opinion is unbelievably naive. Yes, with a normal Court, his predicted outcome is probable. But he completely ignores the facts on the ground with this Court despite everything we’ve seen over the past few years. It’s obvious that the Court will have every opportunity to manipulate their incredibly vague rule and analysis. That was the whole point of the evidentiary discussion in the opinion. And the majority has already telegraphed that admittedly criminal conduct does not change the analysis for core powers conduct (i.e. taking a bribe for a pardon).
As bad as that analysis was, Popok was even more naive, maybe willfully ignorant, with his discussion of Biden’s faculties and ability to win in November. “People are voting for an administration, not a single candidate.” What?! Could you be any more wrong? Presidential elections are a pure popularity contest for the vast majority of voters. Should it work differently? Sure, but it doesn’t, and every pollster and political scientist would tell you as much. Just a staggeringly ignorant take.
And to double down on the take, Popok says that Biden has earned the right to stay in the race even if he can’t win. And if the American people punish Biden and the Democrats for that, so be it. Again, WHAT?! It’s almost like Michael has forgotten the consequences of a Trump presidency despite analyzing the Trump Court and district judge appointees on a weekly basis.
It felt like Popok just went out of his way to take the opposite position of Karen so he could try to prove how much smarter he was than her. He also decided to walk all over her in the process, telling her to stop talking so he could finish his point, and then interrupting and stopping her from making her point literally 30 seconds later (and other points throughout the episode). I know Popok loves to hear himself talk and is probably used to bullying opponents, but he should focus on being more of a podcast host and less of a lawyer on this show.
