The Intersection with Michael Popok

In breaking news and a blow to Trump's efforts to take over Chicago using military and its National Guard, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal in a 3-0 ruling lead by 2 Republican Judges, has blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard on the streets of Chicago/Ilinois. Popok explains how Trump's own bragging was used against him by the Court.

It looks like today's the day for Ambassador John Bolton to be indicted for espionage and mishandling classified documents, a fall out from this 2020 book the "Room where it happens" which embarrassed Trump by claiming, among other things, that Trump asked the Chinese to help get him elected in 2020. Popok takes a look at what's happened since the September 4 Raid on his home, and what will happen next if and when he is indicted in Maryland federal court.

Trump's Oval Office presser to show "unity" within his DOJ and FBI went off the rails immediately, as he took over the podium, chastised his AG, Deputy AG and FBI Director, and demanded that his former Special Counsel prosecutor Jack Smith be indicted. Popok reports on Jack Smith's smart move to give his first interview to the public just before the presser to start speaking directly to the American People, following in the footsteps of NY AG Leticia James who took to a rally stage to tell Trump "bring it" and that she won't be silenced by his phony frame job of an indictment.

Trump blurts out overtly sexist and disgusting things about Press Sec Caroline Leavitt’s mouth, while preying on Italian PM Meloni fresh off his Middle East trip. JD Vance blurts out on network television that there ARE Tom Homan bribe videos that haven’t been produced to the American People; Trump’s pet Lindsey Halligan blurts out that she indicted NY AG Tish James because “she wanted to get it over with;” James Comey’s lawyers blurt out that they will be filing a motion to declare Halligan illegally appointed and to have it assigned to a new judge; Alex Jones blurts out to the Supreme Court that he shouldn’t be held liable for defaming and causing the Sandy Hook Elementary School parents emotional harm by claiming their children aren’t really dead, because he has a lot of followers and subscribers; the Supreme Court holds an oral argument upon which the entirely of the foundation of our representative democracy rests, meaning whether we will ever have black and brown Congresspeople ever again. Popok is at The Intersection to make it make sense.

As Former FBI Director James Comey comes out swinging and tells the Court it will be moving to cut the legs out from under Trump's pet Lindsey Halligan for being illegally appointed to her US Attorney position, the Judge tells Trump's DOJ that he will not allow them to play games with document and evidence production to delay the Jan5 trial. Popok ties it all together on his latest hot take.

You can always count on VP JD Vance going on network tv making Trump scandals worse. This time in a testy exchange with ABC News' George Stephanopoulas the VP accidentally confessed to the existence of a VIDEO recording of Tom Homan accepting a bribe, when all George was asking about was an AUDIO version! Popok brings the receipts on his latest hot take.

Trump's moron of a Sec of "War" announced live on tv that Qatar was building a Qatari air force base in..Idaho(!?), and MAGA world lead by Laura Loomer lost their Sh@#$%t on cue. Popok looks at VP JD Vance attempted bail out by blaming trhe media for accurately playing Hegseth's speech unedited, and how it says about Trump's announced "peace deal" that he converted into a land deal negotiated by 3 real estate developers -- Trump, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

In breaking news, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals over the weekend, continued to block Trump's deployment of State Militia/National Guard in Chicago until the final appeal decision is made, as Trump and Vance and Miller threaten America with the specter of crushing dissent through the use of the Insurrection Act. Popok reports.

Trump hatred and disrespect for veterans knows no bounds, and now he is allowing his ICE forces to beat and assault them for the crime of using their First Amendment right to oppose his immigration policies. Popok reports on Trump, who has fired more veterans than any president in history, who has defunded their mental health and drug counseling and programs to address homelessness, now using pepper spray, zip ties, rubber bullets and worse to punish them.
