Democrats taking the stage of their national convention this week have labeled former President Donald Trump “dangerous,” a “clear and present danger” and a “direct threat to democracy.”
On a giant screen, they have flashed images of Mr. Trump with convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
Former first lady Michelle Obama said Mr. Trump spewed “racist lies.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called him “a fraud, a philanderer and a felon.” Sen. Raphael G. Warnock of Georgia called him “a plague on the American conscience.”
It’s a far cry from the prevailing sentiment a month ago after a would-be assassin came within an inch of killing Mr. Trump, sending the country into a reexamination of increasingly harsh political rhetoric.
“It seemed to last for all of about 15 minutes,” said David Dulio, a political scientist at Oakland University in Michigan.

Following a major celebration of May Day all Trade Unions were closed down, their headquarters and records were seized, and their leaders attacked and imprisoned.
German workers were forced to join a German Labour Front which controlled deductions for taxation and the ‘Strength through Joy’ programme. This provided compulsory activities for workers’ leisure time, with the aim of keeping people too busy to take part in anti-state activism.
Anyone who’s been paying attention anytime between 2016 and now knows the truth and that is that Democrats are the party of liars and hypocrites.
That’s right.
They Bring Hate - To them, that’s JOY!!!
Homosexual Pride Parades and Aborting Babies
That’s “Joy” - in Sodom and Gomorrah
Reprobate minds cannot be changed
This article just repeats all the vitriol as rote.
Unless they repent and turn to Jesus. But I don’t foresee that happening with the rat party anytime soon, if ever.
Great meme!
I hope some do - but if they’ve already gone full reprobate...
Hoping for some, I post the verses just in case a few, very few, may still possibly have ears to hear and want to have their eyes opened
Hakeem Jeffries has ex-boyfriends?
lies vitriol and hatred for conservatives and Republicans IS joy to Democrats.
More confession by projection
I thought we were going to turn down the temperature.
Bait and switch.
Maybe the oldest con.
Seems to me this is all posturing to justify taking another physical shot at him again.
Promising joy but spewing vitriol. This makes you think they have no idea what joy is.
Waltz admitted that they are losing last night. Commiefest is making it worse.
they find joy in hating on Trump and his supporters
