Trump's BIGGEST Supporters TURN AGAINST His OWN VP
MAGA woke up and realized its VP candidate whom they knew nothing about is married to an Indian-American female lawyer, and they are not ok with it. Michael Popok explains that MAGA is attacking Usha Vance and her multicultural children, as “the other”, and that JD should focus more on how his party attacks immigrants and chants for their arrest and protecting families that look like his, than on protecting “white people’s rights” which seems to be his campaign focus.

Hunter Biden STRIKES BACK WITH Judge Cannon’s Order
Turnabout is fair play, and Hunter Biden has rightly grabbed the MAGA and Judge Cannon gift of a decision declaring all Special Counsel invalid and unconstitutional in favor of Trump, and filed 2 new motion to dismiss based on Clarence Thomas’ reasoning to vacate his conviction and dismiss his indictments in 2 states on the same grounds! Michael Popok of Legal AF explains how Thomas and Cannon opened Pandora’s Box and now ALL defendants who have been prosecuted by a special counsel in the last 40 years should try to overturn their convictions.
