My two cents and RED TEXT because I’m pissed:

Note to Bakers and Board owner: anons posting a headline and a link of an article, is not freaking research it has never has been, never will be.see the NYP post below. Addressing the post below, it took me three minutes to retrieve the article and format the article for the board, but I shouldn’t have had to it, that Anon should have. You even have now anons posting pictures of tweets, without the sauce, or link. Sauce is no longer posted because it “seemingly takes up a precious two seconds” to grab a link, and post it. Or because of the system newbies, think it’s acceptable not to have sauce.

NY Post goes postal on #AlvinBragg

https://nypost.com/2024/12/04/opinion/daniel-penny-trial-alvin-bragg-is-a-menace-to-our-society-and-must-go/

When I got here in Jan. 2018, if you posted something without a link or proof, you were harassed to death, until you learned the freakin rule. What’s worse now, is when newbies come on, they see this and do the same, and get notables. A couple of weeks ago I harassed an anon on night shift, until he learned how to format his post. It was a notable post imo if all data was included, but I wasn’t going to “notable” it until then. I can tell, that anon, learned the requirements of posting, and it was obvious that no one ever told him or showed him, he acted completely surprised, and later thanked the baker and ANON, which was nice.

Giving anons notable for something a retard could do, is making others lazy to provide sauce. Hardly any tweet posts have the sauce, STOP enabling lazy work Baker, Board owner, the Bakers are not enforcing the requirements for something to be really notable. (maybe not intentionally) Notable’s are not supposed to be presents for someone’s ego. But now the board is incentivizing lazy work, research and no meaningful contribution to our mission. You might as well just collect 750 posts and put them in notables.

It’s obvious AI chooses the notables, since that is the case, can’t you program it to have all the requirements for something to be notable?And how does AI, know the post is meaningful to us?

But aren’t Bakers required to review what was collected before putting it in notables, or does any old piece of shit get by now? This happens on EVERY SHIFT, night and day, so this is not pointed at anyone in particular.

But now that anons have been allowed not to attach the sauce or even post anything board relevant, every lazy ass is desecrating the mission of the board, research and provide the info, article, research and the FREAKIN SAUCE. The worst part about that post on the NYP article, it’s wasn’t even the title of the article.

But once AI or the baker, made notable the first lazy ass, more lazy asses are doing the same things and getting notables, without adding a thought provoking idea or research.

Notable’s are a joke now, there were supposed to be some of the most meaningful posts that lead to more research, discussions etc. NOW, HARDLY ANY REAL ANON COMMENTS OR DISCUSSES A POSTS, that was the point to get conversation, interest and more research. At this point, the board is a just an aggregator with no research, except a few who post important matters daily. (I miss Anon's comments and discussions brought about this way)

Seriously Board Owner and Bakers, is there any way to turn this around? And get the board on track back to Q Research? No wonder why Autists and Old Anons left.(I've been assured when I ask on NS, that there are still autists and old anons around, but they are silent, I like that some come back and watch what is happening. But I miss discussions with them greatly)

Now it's you turn, go ahead and harass me, I don't give a shit, this board is important and it's not functioning the way it should.

Daniel Penny trial: Alvin Bragg is a menace to our society and must GO

By Post Editorial Board Published Dec. 4, 2024, 7:20 p.m. ET

As the Danny Penny jury deliberates,this farce of a trial has made one thing abundantly plain: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg needs to go. This case never should have gone to court.

The prosecution’s own witnesses proved that every rational person in that subway car — veterans of the subway system — feared for their lives after Jordan Neely burst through the doors and began ranting death threats as he half-lunged at other straphangers.Penny heroically acted to protect them.

It’s a tragedy that Neely wound up dead, but Penny was far from the only author of that tragedy: The failure to address his severe schizophrenia illness (even after he skipped early, just two months before the fatal day, out of treatment mandated after a 2021 assault) and his compromised physical health, including the synthetic marijuana in his system at time of death, all played a role.

The city medical examiner didn’t even wait for the toxicology report before declaring a homicide— on the basis of watching the videos alone.

Yet Bragg, playing to race-obsessed “activists,” brought chargesof second-degree manslaughter — plus, as “insurance” in hopes the jury would agree on a lesser charge, negligent homicide.

Even if Penny’s found innocent on all charges, his ordeal still sends a grim message to all New Yorkers:Don’t even think about standing up to protect the innocent.

And this is far from Bragg’s only outrage.

• Consider his prosecution of Jose Alba, the bodega clerk attacked in his workplace who accidentally killed in self-defense — the charges dropped only when the “optics” got bad.

• Or Bragg’s two-years-belated indictment of a cop for punching an unruly perp (who wasn’t harmed) whom he was escorting out of an Upper West Side Apple Store.

• Or the charges against Scotty Enoe, a CVS worker who stabbed a serial shoplifter to death after the homeless man pulled the knife on him.

This DA sides with the perps every time — and against those who resist them.

Not to mention the resources wasted onhis ultimate political persecution: the ridiculous pursuit of now-President-elect Donald Trump over 2017 bookkeeping entries that supposedly tampered with the 2016 election.

Yes, a compliant partisan hack of a trial judge helped Bragg get felony convictions, and so produce a talking point for Dems in the recent election — butthe absurdity of the casealso bolstered Trump’s claims to be a victim of out-of-control “lawfare.”

Nor is it likely to hold up if Trump’s ever allowed to appeal.

Beyond these outrages, Bragg’s approach starting withhis infamous “Day One” memo — barring staff from prosecuting a wide range of offenses and limiting the sentences they seek — has been objectively pro-criminal.

They forgot to include that Krugman was dead wrong on Trump's Tariffs, so is he still proud about his bullshit cacophony of lies

>And through the Trump era and the Biden presidency, Paul was ever-sharp about the critical stakes facing the country, not least the threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump and how his plans could radically harm the economy. A few weeks before this year’s election, Paul took a deep dive into Trump’s tariff plans, laying out for readers in clear and urgent writing why his economic policy ideas could do enormous damage to American society. He ended the essay with a classic Krugman kicker, where he summarized the cons of Trump’s tariffs in one graf and then wrote in the final graf, “Pros: I can’t think of any.”

Speaker Dade Phelan abandons bid for third term amid bruising leadership battle

BY JASPER SCHERER, JAMES BARRAGÁN AND RENZO DOWNEY DEC. 6, 20241/3LONG ARTICLE

House Speaker Dade Phelan on Friday announced he isdropping his bid for another term leading the lower chamber, ending a bruising, monthslong intraparty push to remove him from power. Phelan, a Beaumont Republican, had previously insisted he had enough votes to thwart a challenge from the right led by state Rep. David Cook of Mansfield, a former ally.

“Out of deep respect for this institution and its members, and after careful consideration and private consultation with colleagues, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the race for Speaker of the Texas House," he said in a statement. "By stepping aside, I believe we create the best opportunity for our members to rally around a new candidate who will uphold the principles that make our House one of the most exceptional, deliberative legislative bodies in the country—a place where honor, integrity, and the right of every member to vote their district takes utmost precedent."

Phelan abandoned the race one day before a scheduled meeting where Republicans are set to pick their nominee for the gavel.

Phelan’s withdrawal sets up a renewed scramble for control of the House. State Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican and top ally of Phelan, has filed paperwork to run for speaker, according to two sources familiar with the matter. His path to the gavel rests on courting the chamber’s 62 Democrats and roughly 40 unpledged Republicans — and reports of his candidacy were already drawing swift pushback from Cook’s camp and grassroots GOP activists, who are set on selecting a speaker without relying on votes from Democrats.

Phelan was looking to the bloc of Democrats and uncommitted Republicans to secure a third term as speaker. But he never produced a list of supporters, while Cook gained fresh momentum this week by picking up two new backers, bringing him within striking distance of the votes needed to lock up the GOP caucus’ endorsement this weekend.

Under the caucus rules, whoever gets 60% or more of the votes at Saturday’s meeting will secure the group’s endorsement and receive support from all 88 Republican members when the vote goes to the full House in January — enough to win the gavel. Heading into this week, Cook had touted 47 supporters, including two unnamed backers. He picked up support from state Reps. David Spiller of Jacksboro and Trent Ashby of Lufkin this week, putting him four votes shy of the 60% threshold.

The Texas House speaker is one of the most powerful legislative positions in the state, along with the Senate president, wielding tremendous power over which bills pass and fail. In a statement, Phelan said he was grateful to the “principled conservatives” who continued to support his speakership by showing “steadfast resolve and courage in the face of immense intimidation from outsiders wishing to influence our chamber and its processes.” “Though the battle for my speakership is over, the war for the integrity of this chamber wages on — and we will win,” Phelan said.

Phelan’s fall

Phelan’s withdrawal comes just two years after he was at the height of his power, easily winning reelection as House leader after overseeing one of the most conservative sessions in recent memory. In his two terms as speaker, he oversaw passage of a litany of conservative priorities, including allowing permitless carry of handguns, restricting transgender rights, testing the boundaries of Texas’ role in immigration enforcement and banning nearly all abortions statewide. At the closed-door GOP caucus meeting before the 2023 session, Phelan’s critics mustered up just six votes for his conservative challenger.

>>22120032

2/3(Phelan was back by Bush Branch of Mafia and Democrats)

Phelan started to lose his grip on the House last year when Attorney General Ken Paxton — months after being impeached on corruption charges in the lower chamber — survived his trial in the Senate. The acquittal was a major rebuke of Phelan, who supported the impeachment effort. Paxton and his far-right allies vowed payback against the speaker and any Republican who voted for impeachment.

Soon after, Phelan’s standing took a hit among supporters of Gov. Greg Abbott’s push to enact a school voucher program, some of whom accused the speaker of not doing enough to get the bill through the House. Phelan narrowly survived a brutal primary challenge in May, but 15 other House Republicans lost their seats, many of them Phelan supporters who were ousted by challengers running on explicit pledges to oppose the Beaumont Republican’s speakership. Some of these insurgent candidates also received financial support from Abbott, who remained publicly neutral in Phelan’s race while spending millions to unseat anti-voucher Republicans who sank his priority issue.

Most incoming GOP freshmen are part of a coalition, led by the House’s rightmost faction, that wants to reshape the chamber by disempowering Democrats and weakening key levers of power used by the speaker to control the House. They have called for an end to the practice of appointing Democrats to chair any House committees — a longstanding tradition Phelan has continued by putting Democrats in charge of eight of the chamber’s 34 standing committees, while reserving most of the high-profile assignments for Republicans. They also want to ensure that GOP priority bills reach the floor before any Democratic measures and limit the speaker to two terms.

With Phelan out of the picture, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and the rest of the GOP’s most conservative faction could have a willing ally in driving a hardline agenda through the Legislature. Patrick, the Senate leader, has sparred bitterly with Phelan over property tax relief and a host of other issues, frequently casting Phelan as a feckless capitulator to Democrats who slow-walked conservative priorities approved by the Senate. The feuding culminated in Patrick’s attempt to end Phelan’s political career by backing his top primary challenger earlier this year.

After eking out a 366-vote win in the May runoff, Phelan insisted he would hold onto the gavel, telling supporters that “I will be your state rep. for HD 21 and I will be your speaker for the Texas House in 2025.” He had remained defiant in the months since, even as he faced a mounting lineup of speaker challengers that included some of his former allies. Though a majority of House Republicans eventually coalesced behind Cook, nearly half the caucus remained silent about their votes, with some publicly vouching for Phelan’s conservative bona fides.

But while Phelan has shepherded the passage of key conservative priorities once seen as a bridge too far for some Republicans, ==his critics have also pointed to a number of hardline priorities that died in the House.

Those measures, which could face better odds of passage under a new speaker, include school vouchers; expanding state control of elections in Democrat-run counties; barring the sale of Texas farmland to citizens and entities associated with China and other countries; and various laws aimed at infusing more Christianity into public life==.

Resistance to BurrowsAfter Phelan announced his withdrawal, the House Democratic Caucus issued a statement saying that “[f]or any Speaker candidate interested in serving the House, the Democratic Caucus is available to listen, and hear their plans to finally give Texans a legislative session that puts people over politics."

It was unclear if House Democrats would unite behind Burrows. On Thursday evening as Burrows was courting Democratic support, state Rep. Ana-María Ramos — a Richardson Democrat who chairs the Texas Legislative Progressive Caucus and is running for speaker herself — made clear she opposed Burrows’ bid for the gavel. She cited his role as the lead author of a sweeping new law aimed at sapping the power of local governments, particularly in Texas’ bluer urban areas.

3/3

“Working Texans deserve a leader in the House who will stand up for them, and not do the bidding of corporate donors,”Ramos posted on social media, along with a video of her sparring with Burrows on the House floor over his measure, dubbed by opponents as the “Death Star bill.”

Abraham George, the chairman of the Texas GOP, who hasamplified the voice of the party’s most conservative activists in calling for a ban on Democratic chairs, pushed Republican lawmakers to vote for a speaker candidate who would honor that commitment.

“Now that Speaker [Phelan] is no longer in the race, it's time for every Republican representative who has yet to back a reformer to answer a straightforward question: Will you stand with your constituents and [the Texas GOP] or will you continue to enable Democrats to hold power?” George said on social media.

He followed that question with a not-so-veiled threat: “Keep in mind, the primary is just 452 days away!”

Lawmakers in Cook’s camp celebrated Phelan’s announcement and immediately tried to push back against the notion that a new candidate could win over their support.

“Phase One accomplished,” Rep.-elect Shelley Luther wrote on social media. “Also, we will NOT vote in a Dade 2.0.”

Phelan’s rise

Phelan, a 49-year-old real estate developer, first secured the votes to become speaker toward the end of his third term, in late 2020. He emerged from a GOP scrum to succeed then-Speaker Dennis Bonnen, who retired after losing support from House members after he was recorded encouraging the political targeting of fellow Republicans in the upcoming primaries.

Phelan was among Bonnen’s lieutenants, serving in 2019 as chair of the influential House State Affairs Committee, which tends to oversee the Legislature’s hot-button issues. He was regarded as middle-of-the-road ideologically, voting for major conservative priorities while also taking occasional stands against party orthodoxy. Notably, when a bill passed through his committee seeking to prevent cities from restricting how businesses schedule their employees’ shifts, Phelan advanced a retooled draft with new language protecting local nondiscrimination ordinances. Explaining the change, Phelan said he was “done talking about bashing on the gay community.”

Phelan nonetheless secured the gavel with the backing of a more conservative GOP faction led by Bonnen’s allies, a group pitted against more ideologically moderate members who had helped drive Bonnen into retirement amid his recording scandal. But what helped Phelan lock down the speaker’s race was his support from a coalition of Democrats, who backed him after he told them he “would do his best to make sure we are on track” when asked how he would handle contentious social issues.

While far less controversial at the time, Phelan’s Democrat-aided ascent sparked backlash from some on the far-right — a sign of what was to come four years later.After Phelan announced he had the votes to become speaker, then-Texas GOP Chair Allen West wrote in an email to supporters that the party "will not support, nor accept" Phelan, calling him a “Republican political traitor” for relying on support from Democrats.

Now it’s time to investigate and prosecute this asshole for his numerous crimesthis is a huge win for TX

The @PeteHegseth nomination has been endangered entirely by anonymous sources.

We have zero idea about the credibility of these sources since every single mud-slinger has remained (& been allowed to remain) unnamed. [Btw these same media refused to report on the Doug Emhoff accuser bc she was “anonymous” in the Daily Mail.]

Meanwhile dozens of on the record character references have been offered (along with point by point disputes of the allegs) by Medal of Honor recipients, decorated war heroes, his Fox colleagues and those who worked w/Pete at his vets charities. How can a nomination as important as this be thwarted by entirely anonymous accusations? Where is the fairness/due process? The media ran with the clearly bogus rape charge story

w/o offering virtually any of the exonerating facts. Now they ask us to believe them about these other character smears. Why should we? The infidelity - that’s admitted. Drinking upon his return from combat tours - that too.

Nothing else here has been confirmed, verified, or substantiated with any evidence.

The only fair Q for these Senators is: are a man’s prior marital troubles and a few nights seen drunk at bars years ago after returning from combat enough to sink a nomination?

These are the only fair character Qs.
