NEVER FORGET THAT IF PRESIDENT OBAMA HADN’T PUT JUSTICES ELENA KAGAN AND SONIA SOTOMAYOR ON THE BENCH, WE WOULD NOT BE CELEBRATING LEGAL GAY MARRIAGE TODAY. THE SPLIT OF THE VOTE WAS 5/4.
Honestly, at this point, if “vote for Clinton because Trump will actively try to fuck over nonwhite non-straight non-cis non-male non-wealthy non-Christian people” doesn’t sway you, you’re pretty much a total loss as a person.
At a Hillary Clinton town hall yesterday in Haverford, Pennsylvania, a 15 year old girl was supposedly “chosen at random”
to ask a question of the former Secretary of State. But, the
well-scripted performance raised some suspicion with a YouTuber named Spanglevision who decided to dig a little deeper. And, wouldn’t you know it, the “random” participant was none other than child actor, Brennan Leach, whose father just happens to be Pennsylvania democratic State Senator Daylin Leach. Oh, and in case it wasn’t obvious, Daylin supports Hillary for president…shocking.
So, here was the original question from Brennan:
Brennan:
“Hi Madam Secretary. I’m Brennan and I’m 15 years old. At my school, body image is a really big issue for girls my age. I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look.
As the first female president how would you undo some of that damage
and help girls understand that they’re so much more than just what they
look like?”
And here was Hillary’s attempt at knocking the soft ball out of the park…it’s almost like she knew the question was coming.
Hillary:
“I’m so proud of you for asking that question. You are right – my
opponent has just taken this concern to a new level of difficulty and
meanness. And, it’s shocking when women are called names and judged
solely on the basis of physical attributes.
“My opponent insulted Miss Universe. I mean, how do you get more
acclaimed than that? But, it wasn’t good enough. So we can’t take any
of this seriously any more. We need to laugh at it. We need to refute
it. We need to ignore it. And we need to stand up to it.”
Here is the full analysis from Spanglevision. Among other things, he points out that Brennan is the only participant of the night who reads her question from a prepared script.
And, of course, as pointed out by Spanglevision, the mainstream media couldn’t get enough of the adorable young girl and her “brave” question. Here’s coverage from the New York Times…. (NYC TIMES? GO FIGURE)
In fact, pretty much everyone covered the story including The Washington Post, New York Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, Cosmopolitan…it’s pretty hard to find a media outlet that didn’t cover it actually.
But this isn’t young Brennan’s first acting gig in the political circus. Turns out her dad, Daylin, utilized her acting skills in the following campaign video when he ran for Congress back in 2014.
And, just in case you would like to see more of her acting work, here is Brennan acting in a movie entitled “Once Upon A Time Trillium Vein.”
Oh man. Just damn. How disgusting Hillary do this. Oh! By the way. Here’s a friendly reminder that Trump has a FUCKING CHILD RAPE CASE COMING UP TO COURT LATER THIS MONTH! But yeah. Let’s all jump on Hillary. Clearly this is MUCH worse.
Terezi and Dave used their combined powers to “revive” Dirk, after Dirk was killed by Spades Slick via dozens of point blank gunshot wounds. We can assume this death was heroic, as he didn’t begin to revive on his own, and he certainly didn’t deserve a “Just” death. So for a few seconds of the flash, Dirk Strider was permadead.
But then Dave and Terezi used their classpect powers in conjunction with each other, in the fraymotif you see above.
Now, from the image, we can get an idea of what exactly their combined power actually is. You can see Dirk and Jack English doing a variety of different actions, with the timeline splintering off in different directions based on the choices Dirk makes as to how to go about fighting Jack.
Once the fraymotif fades, Dirk is fine, and is in a much different situation combat wise than he was originally- the battle never went in that direction, so he never died. This is, obviously, time travel- that’s clear from the get-go. But what’s remarkable is that it’s a type of time travel we’ve never seen before in Homestuck.
Time travel in homestuck- even John’s retcon powers- involves the person in question physically traveling back in time, so that if they want to change their own actions, they have to carry a conversation with their past self and convince them to act differently. In Terezi and Dave’s fraymotif, though, nobody actually physically travels back- at least not in the sense we’re use to.
Considering that, in the picture above, every cyan branch represents a barrier between potential timelines- there’s actually no duplicates in the image. Every given timeline shown has one Dirk, one Terezi, and one Dave. Rather than there being two of someone, because someone went back and changed things “manually”.
Mind as an aspect represents choices, the reasons people have for making those choices- and other choices they could have potentially made. Combine that with time travel, and it’s clear that their combined ability is to retroactively cause people to make different choices than they originally did. Dirk never died because he never made the combat decision that led to his death. It’s a type of time travel that leaves no fingerprints- nobody runs into another version of themselves, nobody meets anyone from the future.
you just happen to make a different choice than you would have originally, probably not even realizing something is different.
and odds are, only the player(s) who did it are aware.
it’s a form of time travel where you BECOME your past self, rather than encounter them. and that’s remarkable. that’s unprecedented in homestuck. seamless time travel like that has endless potential, it’s like an “undo” button in photoshop. considering that it forces the person in question to make a different choice, it’s arguably a form of mind control.
in conclusion:
terezi & dave are a fucking powerhouse.
This means they can change the past without making a doomed timeline.
her quirk follows as such “the quick brΦwn fΦx jumφs Φver the lazy dΦg”
Her strife specibus is spear kind and she wears a harliquin mask on her head at all times. Being a purple blood, she is prone to bloodlust. When her bloodlust takes over, she wears the mask proper.
