I've run this through TextSoap & Gemini ai to clean up the transcript. After having listened to stuff like this I sometimes likes to have some hard copy / proper text of what was said. ;)

Where are the Dems with the balls to get stuck in and fight with a passion against those Republicans who're still fanning the flames of Trump's destruction of democracy in all its forms. Btw, that was me saying this and not some quote. LOL

A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

Trump's already pardoned most in preparation for the midterms. It's not going to be enough to let others handle it. Everyone will need to rally around wherever they can getting up to speed with what they need to know, so as to oppose the Trump regime at every turn.

There might just be a silver lining concerning the Epstein files to come out of the caving in on the government's shutdown. And it's quite possible Trump's tenure as president might come to an end. I mean, that final 218th signature could be curtains for Trump. LOL

Voters aren't buying Trump's xit any longer, even as he repeats the same old broken down lies days after seeing MAGA being resoundingly thrashed on Tuesday. I mean, how does he not see this? Does he think people will forget what he's done and think the worst in behind them?

What a bunch of evil pieces of xits Trump and JD Vance are, along with their spineless administration. So, they'd rather see people starve to death than re-open the government if it means giving in to the Democrats insistence to extending ACA subsides.

Trump is an absololute **** for doing this. Well, we'll see if how far this gets with regards to Hungary getting any oil. 🙄

It maybe that this is more to do with Orcban's need to look good before next year's elections. 🤔
