NY Times Columnist Suggests Assassinating Donald Trump So He Can’t Win the Election

Donald Trump

Donald Trump

Liberal mainstream media journalists are so terrified of losing their direct pipeline to the White House, that one of them suggested assassinating the GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

"Good news guys I've figured out how the Trump campaign ends," NY Times reporter Ross Douthat tweeted last night. His tweet contained a link to a trailer from the 1983 movie The Dead Zone, featuring an assassination attempt on a character played by actor Martin Sheen.

Martin Sheen

In the movie, the smarmy politician (Sheen) spots the would-be assassin (played by Christopher Walken) and holds up a baby to thwart the assassination attempt.

Imagine a NY TImes columnist "joking" about assassinating President Obama. He would be fired and thrown in jail.

In response to the angry backlash from his Twitter.com followers, Douthat deleted the tweet and issued an apology.

In a recent column, Douthat wrote, “President Hillary” would be a better choice for America than “our own nuclear-armed Berlusconi”.

By the way, latest polls show Trump is the likely Republican candidate nominee for president.

    I am kind of laughing because my BIL JUST said this yesterday. Said Trump won't last two months, because someone would kill him.

  • Yoni

    I know of a postal worker who said he is voting for Trump because if he gets assasinated they get a day off of work. :facepalm: :ghost: #wallslide

  • Just Keya

    OMG

  • http://www.sandrarose.com Django the God

    And he has a job the next day...

  • Just Keya

    Depending on who the Vice President is IF Trump wins, I can see this. Yup I sure can.

    If President Obama made it, Trump can make it. For better or worse.

  • Mel

  • Just Keya

  • Sonny Johnson

    You know making Trump a Matyr would be even worst because it could actually unite the GOP and I like them exactly where they are at dysfunctional and divided

  • It’s Taurus Season

    The NYT is very much a Democratic paper. He aint going noplace by saying that against a Republican candidate. AND Donald picked on his handicapped colleague. Remember? That reporter worked for NYT.

  • Yoni

    Anybody know if that "to-pay" is made out of brazillian or virgin remy? I'm thinking more on the lines of manged dog, matted bathroom carpet blend.

  • Mel

    Anything is possible at this point Keya who expected toupee trump to be doing so well now after his failed attempt a few years ago ?

  • Yoni

    He think he gone be the next Puffy or Peter Gunz, huh?

  • LeBrick James

    Wont happen anyway.
    There haven't been any political assassination since the 1960's (JFK, RFK, MLKing, Malcom X). I think security technology & techniques are so much better these days, it would be hard for anybody to seriously pull of a major assassination nowadays.

  • LeBrick James

    3 baby moms total? uggh.
    These dudes.

    Failure to use a condom can just complicate your life so much. When will these brothas learn?

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Reporters stick together. A lot tend to marry other reporters. That type thing. They aint take that ish light at ALL with Trump picking on female reporter either. He probably got high fives in the newsroom this morning lmfaooo.

  • LeBrick James

    He's said he likes Carl Icahn, a pretty well known business leader.

  • Just Keya

    He wants them to bring the kids to the prison to see him. NOT MINE. NOPE. Lord willing mine will NEVER know what the inside looks like, unless they saw it on tv. I would not even be doing that shyt.

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    it's more silky... like corn husk strings

    Knowing Trump, he'll clap back with the quickness.

  • It’s Taurus Season

    You mean USA political assassinations. Cause an elected leader managed to die in Mexico just last month. But here yeah its pretty tight security wise. Trump and all the other candidates, already have Secret Service security detail.

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    I tried to upvote this 97 times 'cause, the f'n nerve of him!!!!!
    *exasperated arm flail*

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Corn silk? I HATE you. No I dont.

  • MissHarlem

    Over his orange ass. I purposely limit anything trump especially conversations. Except Bill maher because he keeps the petty alive ??.in a nutshell I wouldn't care ?

  • <—Doesn'tTalkToStrangers

    I just saw :blink:
    Which is the one he cheated on Yandy with?

  • It’s Taurus Season

    This doesnt hold water with at least one of them. Yandy said her pregnancies were planned. So...now what?

  • MissHarlem

    They murdered her ass with no remorse. They found them though.

  • Yoni

    So your take is a wave nu-vo?

  • Just Keya

    Not the light skin one with the butch dad. The other one. I am just confused as to how Mandeecess momma don't see nothing wrong with any of this, and how people are agreeing to take kids to the jail for visits. Naw son. You want to see your son? Keep your ass out of jail. Period.

  • Yoni

    So he trine to be like Apollo?

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Wont eem in office a whole DAY @Harlem. I read that like well dizzayum.

  • MissHarlem

    She was pretty. They mad because she adamant about ending corruption and criminal activity. They was like NOPE. Sad

  • It’s Taurus Season

    STAY. We love you and we beat @Brendan when you gone.

  • sunni_daze

    If Trump becomes president our international realtionships would crumble,at least what's left of them anyway. I just don't see him holding that office. Besides the Simpson did an episode on if he won and what the country would be.

  • Saharabutnotdry

    My God ! That pink face looks like a southern white grandma puzzy. Disgusting .

  • Just Keya

    The lies she tells. According to her, her and that man broke up and that's when his other son was conceived. Seeing as how they the same damn age, WHEN did yall get back together? Because on the show she said it was a whole year. That math don't add up.

  • Just Keya

    Right. Why would you want your kids to see you like that anyway? smdh.

  • <—Doesn'tTalkToStrangers

    Oh, she looked like she was just trying to get under his skin. I thought she still wanted him LOL

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    LOL! <3

  • Just Keya

    I think she still does too. They might be fuggin on the low.

  • It’s Taurus Season

    On one show she was like my pregnancies were planned. WE talked about it yip yap and the third.

    But yes. All of what YOU said is what WE said here. Basically Bish stop line.

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    the color is spot-on in the pic up top. impressive...

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    And this clown (Ross) claims to be a 'Christian'.
    He looks slow.
    Ha, ha,ha!!!

  • Just Keya

    smdh. Stupid shyt. She got knocked because he got someone else knocked. Period. Basic Bird shyt.

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    you said he need to 'stay free' if he want face-time with the babies?? ROFL!!!!

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Are you a Trump supporter?

    Ross does claim to Christian.

    But so does Trump. Who lied about going to church.

  • Just Keya

    YES! If it was my son, he would not be going. at all. Call him if you like but no I am not willing to bring him and no he can't come with someone else. Even the Mr. once said "If I ever was dumb enough to go to jail, I would never want the kids to see me like that" It's selfish.

  • Just Keya

    Oop

  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    I just hope people vote against him. That would kill that ego a tad bit or maybe not....

  • Yoni

    Trump is a liar and his breath stinks.

  • Just Keya

    Like morning breath from 8 mornings ago

  • Readytochokemothernatureonout

    I need one of these

  • Yoni

    Prolly ain't played with'em or tossed a ball with'em ONCE when he was free. Now you wanna be prison daddy of the year.

  • It’s Taurus Season

    I mean he DID. Got right on busted out by the church he said he went to. A very old church. Like the 1600s-1700s. Was like that fool dont go here regularly. We not sure WHY he lied.

  • Junkanoo

    Trump already looks like a decomposing corpse do I don't see what the problem is here

  • <—Doesn'tTalkToStrangers

    Yep they are!
    You see the look in her eyes? LOL

  • Just Keya

    This

  • Just Keya

    See, Mandeeceeses tries to play this stand up guy roll and I'm not buying it. He is a creep like the other clowns on the show. Mona just hides his shyt.

  • 1/8

    So... in your mind... lying about going to church is equal to calling for someone's assassination?

  • 1/8

    Some people believe they can serve God and act like the devil, simultaneously. ? ?

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Nope. But why question someones devotion when the person themselves card already been pulled about theirs? Ross didnt say he wanted somebody to kill them man. He said that he could envision how it ends. Hell folks said the Towers were gonna be bombed years before they were. Did they PERSONALLY ring the terrorists up to come do it though?

  • Just Keya

    Girl why bother.

  • 1/8

    How many times did you kiss him before you realized his breath was tart?

  • It’s Taurus Season

    Yeah. Cause just like he is too gay to understand male/female chemistry, he has no religion or higher power he answers to as he is atheist. So he doesnt get that either.

  • TheRealLee

    Don't joke about killing your political opposition unless you can tolerate jokes about them killing your guy. It's common sense.

  • Nancy Drew on my ibrowse today

    I read that like 'chile, he already know' ROFL!

  • Just Keya

    The staning for Trump for someone in here is real...then again I am not surprised...he is white.

  • <—Doesn'tTalkToStrangers

    Agreed!

  • LeBrick James

    Oh yeah, they're off the chain in Mexico. And a lot of the police there are bought and paid for by the drug lords anyway, so that's a whole different ballgame over there.

  • Yoni

    Didn't have to. He's a liar, therefore, his breath automatically stinks. Look at his teeth, you can tell some dental hygiene is needed. How many times did you suck his dIck before he left you for his wife?

  • LeBrick James

    There we had a college-educated sister getting knocked up by a crimnal who’s under Federal indictment, who was facing up to 20 years Federal time on drug charges.

    You are out of touch if you think assassination stopped in the 1960's Judge Scalia was just assassinated.

  • LeBrick James

    ok., I'm out of touch then.
    As far as Judge Scalia, show us your proof and we'll believe it.

    but if you;re just believing some little conspiracy theory out there, you gotta come with something a bit stronger than that.

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    Let's see that black reporter Jayson Blair made up stories out of whole clothes and was immediately fired and there was a discussion about race and affirmative action.

    Judith Miller was basically the stenographer for the Bush Pentagon and pushed all of the administration's Iraq lies in her columns and got a $2 million severance package from the NYT.

    Does that sound like a Democratic organization?

    I work for Uncle Sam and you have to be white or stupid (well the same thing) to vote Republican.

    A lot of these damn military veterans dodged a damn bullet when Bush's proposed personnel system flopped because it would have eliminated veterans' preference in hiring and firing but these fools are still voting Republican.

    I hope the next Republican requires every federal employee to have at least an Associates degree so some of these crackers can be sent home-old dumb racists a$$es.

  • Auditor

    True but then my next question would be I guess...do you identify more as the "woman" or "man"? It's too confusing...

  • It’s Taurus Season

    I said what I said. The NYT is a Democratic paper. They have not endorsed a Republicant presidential candidate since the damn 50s. Not ONE. Far as Jayson Blair, that was a huge scandal in the journalism world period. Black OR white. Far as the BLACK side, NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) even said his ass shoulda been fired. You NEVER plagiarize the work of ANOTHER journalist. NEVER. Rules number 1 and 2. Never is number one. Ever is number 2.

  • It’s Taurus Season

    http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/19/opinion/truth-lies-and-subtext.html

    Now this would be a juicy story under any
    circumstances. But Mr. Blair is black, so there is the additional spice of race, to which so many Americans are terminally addicted.

    Listen up: the race issue in this case is as bogus as some of Jayson Blair's reporting.

    Mr. Blair was a first-class head case who was given a golden opportunity and responded by spreading seeds of betrayal every place he went. He betrayed his readers. He betrayed his profession. He betrayed the editors who hired and promoted him. But there was no racial component to that betrayal, any more than there was a racial component to the many betrayals of Mike Barnicle, a columnist who was forced to resign from The Boston Globe in 1998 after years of complaints about his
    work.

  • Fendi

    IDC what's under Trump's hair. Ask Trump to release his tax returns, which he refuses to do. Even Ted Cruz said he believes Trump is fabricating his net worth, which I've always believed. Trump said he will "eventually" release his tax returns. Someone is probably still cutting and pasting them, so they're not ready yet.

    What people should know is that when Ivanka worked for him, she was not paid a salary. She was paid $1/year and all the dresses she wanted. Hello, tax cheat. And back then, rich folks would put money in trust for their kids as to avoid paying taxes.

    Poor white trash is backing Trump. 20% of his supporters also support slavery. Even more want gays and lesbians banned from the United States. How anyone supports someone so ignorant and biased is beyond me.

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    That wasn't my point.

    I wasn't disagreeing that Blair shouldn't have been fired, but they gave Judith Miller a pass and her columns actually led this country into a war of choice and then paid her to go away.

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    So why was it ok for the other side to use it as an issue to belittle other black reporters and inject affirmative action into the discussion?

    You have a reading comprehension problem.

    *dead*

    Damn how did I miss this one earlier?

  • Auditor

    Men in LA are THIRSTY...I miss it tho lol

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    NLORM: Yeah. Cause just like he is too gay to understand male/female chemistry

    Oh geeze you're one of them.
    Look there isn't much difference between straight and gay relationships and I think that is what makes some straight people so uncomfortable.

    I used to go to a church where the pastor's wife always made stupid statements like if you're not married you don't understand what it's like or if you don't have children you don't understand what it is to be a parent.

    (of course all the time she's ignoring her husband's gay a$$ or maybe they have an understanding, ha,ha,ha!!)

    I'm like no. Being an outsider all of my life I have observed and seen the consequences of bad decisions made by other people and learned not to repeat those mistakes.

    Also being straight doesn't make your life perfect and when I realized that I was able to accept my sexuality more.

    Hell I have a straight friend who is in her early 30's and she's always talking about getting married and having children and she can't find a man who fits her criteria and she talks about how horrible her friends' marriages and relationships are.

    So it's obvious that all people have the same basic issues regardless of color, race, gender or sexual orientation.

  • It’s Taurus Season

    No comprehension issue.

    Nope its not okay. Any objective article pretty much gonna have some shit that coulda been left out.

    But that really happened. Is it correct? Yes. Is it right morally? No. It's not. Who said it was right? Fella who wrote that tidbit is colored too btw. Makes it even worse when you go back and read it knowing he is black.

    Gn to you.

  • http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

    What do you mean left out?
    Judith Miller was fronting for the Bush administration.

    She was given a megaphone----the NYT aka the Newspaper of Record and she used it to convince a lot of thoughtful people that we needed to go war with Iraq.
    And I know you did NOT use the word 'colored'
    Obviously you're not black.

  • elaine9245

    The Republican Party has become a big joke. So sneaky and their thirst for power overshadows any hint of sincerety in helping the American people. It's no wonder Trump is surfing ahead of the others with ease. Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Carson and the others have no one to blame but themselves. Trump is just an distraction.....intended distraction. The only reason they are so pissed at him is because his antics have people's attention. Shows how the everyday Republican citizen thinks which is why there will definitely be a Democrat in office after Obama.

  • Yoni

    You just suck............at life. *dismissive wave*

    Obama had a political background and his puppet strings where all in Politics... The Bushes and the Clinton roll together and Obama was good for the job right now until they got Hilary ready. Who is pulling Trumps puppet strings? Trump and his money! I need someone in the background pulling strings and the only person he came up with is Sarah Palin? But in all fairness...
