        Welp. -- nm - ML Mar 29, 13:04
        
        So the fact he had to resort to the source he did to get the headline he wanted is...something. -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 12:59 12
        
        It was the link off of Google News so *shrug* - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 29, 13:05
        
        I expect that's the link he saw/had, I don't see any reason to think he was searching with an evil giggle for the right headline -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 13:04 5
        
        Especially since he didn't quote or mention the headline. -- nm - Ender Mar 29, 13:05 1

        [deleted]
        
        Yeah, I'm picturing spamlet perusing 50 different websites finding that exact headline. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 29, 13:01 4
        
        Lol, like he couldn't just do a google news search? -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 13:04 2
        
        Spamlet was just catching up on his Real Housewives news at US Weekly. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 29, 13:10 1
        
        Oh, okay then. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 13:12
        
        it is a ridiculous statement to even say that. -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 13:02
        
        Tabloids! All of them!! -- nm - decline Mar 29, 12:58

  - have you tried, not being a dick? -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:54
- I don't think she's arguing that Trump would be a *better* president than Hilary. -- nm - mara Mar 29, 12:46 18
  - [deleted]
  - If she's saying she'll vote for him over her she is. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 29, 12:48 16
    - "Some people feel Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately if he gets in then things will really, you know explode." It's dumb, but it's not - mara Mar 29, 12:51 1

        [deleted] 10
        
        In other words she's issuing a threat. -- nm* - nic to be determined Mar 29, 13:03 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        yeah, there was plenty of that in 2008 that really didn't come to fruition -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 13:12 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think the Bernie bros might be a different story, but I'm also not sure how large a segment they represent. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 29, 13:14
        
        That's not exactly in no shape or form, it's a maybe. At least enough of a maybe for some to think she might. She did not say no. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 29, 13:08 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        But that's not what I claimed she said in my post. -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 12:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Hence why I said "if" she's saying that. On the other hand mnay women of the GOP have said that if that other guy's the nominee they will vote Hilary. -- (edited) - nic to be determined Mar 29, 12:57
- Dumb. -- nm - Diva Mar 29, 12:42
- Rich, white privilege allows one to take dumb stances like this. -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 12:38 5
  - That's really not fair. It's way more about being dumb than rich. -- nm - pmb Mar 29, 12:48 4
    - My point is that a Trump presidency wouldn't hurt her the way it could/would hurt a number of marginalized groups. - ty97 Mar 29, 12:52
    - Did you put on your monocle before posting this? - David Mar 29, 12:49 2
      - Here we go again with the fatcat bashing. These people are pure Baltic Avenue. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 12:54
      - That assumes I didn't already have it on. - pmb Mar 29, 12:54

The Donald wants to press charges against the former Breitbart reporter for asking him a question -- (link) - decline Mar 29, 12:21 3

- he's such a little pussy. He's still sore after getting his ass handed to him on WI conservative radio all day yesterday. -- nm - Jovian Mar 29, 12:37
- Well, for touching him. That's simple misdemeanor battery. -- nm - mara Mar 29, 12:24
SCOTUS has requested supplemental briefing on the ACA contraceptive coverage case, asking for alternative methods that employees could obtain coverage -- (link) - pixie ninja Mar 29, 12:20 10
- Single-payer healthcare? -- nm - znufrii Mar 29, 12:45 2
  - Free birth control? -- nm - mara Mar 29, 12:46 1
    - god forbid! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 12:59
- deadlock! deadlock! deadlock!! -- nm - decline Mar 29, 12:31
- Ugh. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 12:26
- That suggested work around is... something. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 12:24 4
  - It reads like hiring a Sabbath Goy for birth control. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 12:29 3
    - If there is a God, I hope he has a special bureaucratic admitting procedure for the jacktard petitioners. - TWuG Mar 29, 12:37 1
      - To me it looks like establishment of religion. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 29, 13:18
    - SCOTUS Bros have no clue -- (link) - pixie ninja Mar 29, 12:34
Hey decline, I think you will like tonight's episode of The Flash. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:18 1

Cavill plays the role of Superman like he gives zero fucks. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:15 29
- One of the many things about the movie I feel would have made more sense if it were crafted/edited better - con_carne Mar 29, 12:31 1
  - spoils..... - groiny Mar 29, 12:33
- "John Cusack as Superman" -- nm - Max Mar 29, 12:18
- he's said several times that he's just in the acting for the money (and the chicks) and doesn't care about it as a craft -- nm - decline Mar 29, 12:16 9
  - Amy is a bigger Superman fan than pixie and she refuses to see either of these movies. - Spawn Mar 29, 12:25 8
    - Proving again that Amy is a smart, smart woman. -- nm - TWuG Mar 29, 12:33
    - the IM explains alot. - groiny Mar 29, 12:26 6
      - Yeah, that is why I am a Batman fan and not a Superman fan. Sure. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:28 5
        
        you can't possibly have an opinion on Superman, when you don't like him to begin with. -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:29 4
        
        As I have said, I loved Reeve as Superman. And I even like Routh. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:32 3
        
        that superman is NOT the superman that the script calls for in either Superman movie we are talking about. -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:35 2
        
        I would like to see the script, then. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:36 1
        
        smh -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:37
- you do know it is not up to the actors on how they play their parts? -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:15 15
  - see above. It is much more than that. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:19 14
    - if he were not playing it the way Snyder wanted, he would have been gone after MofS -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:21 13
      - I strongly disagree with that statement. Before maybe, but no way after. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:24 12
        
        I am saying that he is giving the role exactly what it is calling for from the higher ups. -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:24 11
        
        "Henry, can you smile a little more?... Oh, that is worse, don't do that." -- nm - Higher Ups Mar 29, 12:26 10
        
        WTF does he have to smile about????? -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:26 9
        
        Lets compare Reeve getting the cat out of a tree with Henry saving the girl from the burning building. -- (link) - Spawn Mar 29, 12:30 [Image] 8
        
        Reeve was like bubblegum pop. - groiny Mar 29, 12:32 7
        
        And Superman is not grunge. Thank you for winning my argument. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:33 6
        
        ugh..... - groiny Mar 29, 12:34 5
        
        Yeah, but at least the retarded oranguatan found the nut. - Spawn Mar 29, 12:35 4
        
        you realize this is not 1978 anymore? -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 12:36 3
        
        You realize some things are timeless? - Spawn Mar 29, 12:39 2
        
        BUT HE IS NOT!!!!!!! - groiny Mar 29, 12:40 1
        
        Exactly. Evolution is one thing, an about-face is quite another. It goes like this. A man can be dark. Fine. A god can not. Superman has to be in the light. -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 29, 12:41
LOL, the White Sox projections went up 3 wins after Larouche retired. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 29, 12:15 1

"The American government may have used foreign hackers to crack the signature product of America’s top technology company." - ML Mar 29, 12:14 13
- Pretty sure they'll update your phones in the next day or so with stronger encryption. - Krusty Mar 29, 12:19 10
  - The problem is that they don't know where the vulnerability is. The FBI has told hackers there's a hole somewhere, go find it. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 29, 12:28 7
    - Apple asked for it, now they got it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:28 6
      - Your Apple hate is clouding your vision here. Google would do the same thing. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 29, 12:30 4
        
        google's smarter - they just made android encryption weak enough that the feds don't need to ask -- nm - decline Mar 29, 12:39 1
        
        You might say they are smarter because they are not telling their users that their phones are unhackable when they clearly are. -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:40
        
        Agreed. But my point is, the FBI asked them to, they refused, so they did it themselves. - Spawn Mar 29, 12:34 1
        
        That seems fine to me, although technically the vulnerability should be reported to apple ..... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 12:44
      - well, no--the FBI asked for it, then when Apple wouldn't give it to them under threat they held an open casting call for hackers -- nm* - ML Mar 29, 12:30
  - Hell, my non-Apple phone pushed a huge update out this morning! -- nm - Spawn Mar 29, 12:20 1
    - I'm still waiting for the marshmallow update to come through for my V10. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 12:25
