#nobody look at me I am having a moment

[auspicioustidings]

Urgh Ghost who knows the look of a kid who is being abused and trying to hide it. Soap was really excited to introduce his cousins little girl (he considers her his neice) and Ghost sees it in her eyes immediately.

He talks to her. He's a big, scary man but he sits next to this little girl and tells her about his dad and how scared he was of him. How he wishes he had told someone what was going on because now he knows it wasn't right. She tells him.

Soap is mad at him at first, his cousin would never do something like that and it's ridiculous that Ghost is literally holding a child captive from her family. But he doesn't budge, not even when Price tries to order him to let this little girl go home.

It's a lesson to everyone in trusting Simon's gut instincts when he forces it to go to a full investigation and it's all uncovered. Soap is ruined, he cannot believe he didn't see it. But he will never stop being grateful that Ghost did see it. His niece goes on to have a brilliant childhood with her mama and eventually her stepdad (Gaz if you can believe it, long story).

And one day she will see the signs in a little boy that lives across the street and she will do what Simon Riley did for her. That's his legacy. Not all the people he's killed or the pain he has taken, but the kids he saved along the way.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re very young and aren’t deliberating spreading misinformation about how the US branches of government work. The president does not have ANY say in Supreme Court decisions. The president belongs to the executive branch of government. The Supreme Court belongs to the judicial branch. The only influence the executive branch has on the Supreme Court is if/when the president gets the opportunity to appoint a new justice, which only occurs when a current justice dies or steps down. Those appointments from the president’s office need Senate approval before a justice can be confirmed to the court.

The US currently has a conservative majority on the court: there are nine justices total with six being conservative — three of them were appointed by Trump due to vacancies that occurred during his administration* (technically one vacancy occurred under Obama, but the conservative-majority Senate at that time blocked his nominees until he left office, meaning Trump was in a position to fill that vacancy. Hm, almost as though voting does in fact matter because of how our branches of government are designed, and Democratic presidents alone can’t achieve unilateral change!).

I understand the frustration with the state of the country right now, but acting like Biden is a king with unprecedented power over the judicial and legislative branches is dangerously out of touch with the reality of how this country works. Although ironically, Trump and his allies plan to redistribute power into the executive branch when he takes office by minimizing the power of the legislative and judicial branches (see Project 2025). If Project 2025 comes to fruition, the executive branch WOULD have king-like power, which is what The US Constitution was written to avoid. I recommend learning about the limits and parameters of presidential power before you “voting is useless” your way into handing absolute power to Trump.

im not gonna respond to very much of this, except to say that i'm almost certainly older than you, and also it's funny for you to be like "Biden isnt a king and doesnt have absolute power, there's nothing he can do about the supreme court. but Trump will have absolute power". which one is it? is the president important or not? also, you people all say that the democrats will be better than the republicans. where's the proof of that? what have they done for anyone? commit genocide?

Oh you’re an eldest daughter whose plans and preferences are always swept to the side?? You feel like you have to bear the burden of xyz if no one else will?? You did that task when no one asked you to but that nobody was going to do unless asked?? You’re being dramatic- why didn’t you just say something?!? It’s kind of your fault actually because you didn’t speak up!! Why don’t you tell people how you feel?!?

I raise you: why does no one ever ask?

God it's so hot when a woman is taller than me. Something about her towering over me activates some monkey part of my brain that wants to climb trees. I just-
