WASHINGTON (AP) — At the top of his first speech as her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz turned to Vice President Kamala Harris and declared, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.” The next day, Harris took the theme a step further, branding the Democratic ticket “joyful warriors.”
Contrast that with former President Donald Trump, who opened a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida a few days later by saying, “We have a lot of bad things coming up,” and predicting the U.S. could fall into an economic depression unseen since the dark days of 1929 or even another world war.
“I think that our country is, right now, in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in, from an economic standpoint, from a safety standpoint,” Trump said Thursday.
Democrats are playing up their sunnier outlook, promoting the idea that voters can be inspired to support someone and not just cast their ballot against the other side. The Trump campaign argues their candidate is reflecting the dour mood of the country and dismisses the idea that a growing contrast in tone and upbeat attitude will decide the presidency.
Trump’s senior campaign advisers counter that the mood of the country right now is sour over the economy, the state of the U.S.-Mexico border and turmoil in the Middle East and beyond. They see their candidate as reflecting that reality rather than what they believe is a temporary exuberance igniting the Democratic base after months of discouragement over their ticket.
Trump has tried to harness that with his repeated predictions of stock market crashes and war. His campaign appearances have included a long list of other warnings that have veered into the apocalyptic...

Pushing “joy”?! Marxism = joy?
He just needs to point out that Americans can have real joy when life becomes affordable again. He can turn it around on them with facts. He has to continuously tie them to their record. His message should include ‘It’s not what they say now. It’s what they’ve said and done before.’
I am sick of hearing about this bitch and her utter BS. Now she’s lying about the border, how its all Bidens fault and only she can take care of it and all the clapping seals go “arf arf arf yeah she’s got a vagina duuuuh, dat mean she shood be Presidunt duuuuh”
Where are Trumps ads? I haven’t seen ONE on TV or on the net yet I’m seeing endless sKamala ones! What is going on? I feel like taking matters into my own hands and making my own.
Mockingbird talking point of the week. Come on, MSM parrots. Polly wanna cracker?
I think Harris’ “joy” is instantly erased when people look at their grocery receipts.
Actually she is pushing flippancy.
The AP is either too stupid or too corrupt to notice Harris and Biden have handed us massive inflation, millions of illegals, and toxic foreign involvements. Yeah, joy joy joy.
“Mockingbird talking point of the week.”
Before noon every day the PDJT campaign should come out with a video clip, entitled, “DEMOCRAT BUZZWORD OF THE DAY”. Show a montage of the robot MSM spewing their crap, with images of parrots in the background.
There is a huge difference between joy and insane giddiness.
How much JOY are we feeling in the grocery store and at the gas station? The Dems are absolutely CLUELESS !
This just in.......
Kamala has had another joyful “Come to Jesus Moment.”
She said on Fox News she would sign a “border bill.”
She then joined hands with Walz and they humbly sang, “We shall Overcome.”
The ads are 3 or 4 to one from Trump. We are winning for the first time in a long time.
We need to do the necessary work and participate. Ballot harvest. Find unregistered voters who lean right and get them to the polls. Bank votes. Become a poll watcher, donate. whatever you can do to help. If we do our part we are going to win this.
Books by Kamala Harris:
The Joy of Communism and Tyranny
The Joy of Performing an Abortion
The Joy of Arresting Christians in the UK
The Joy of Paying Taxes
/sarc maybe
The lyrics have changed. They’re now “We shall overwhelm”
Might be "fascism = joy":
i better write that down so I don’t forget.
lol.........Marxism is such a joy.
Joy? My arse. Going to the store, buying a house, rents, gas, I see no joy in how difficult life has become with Biden and Harris destruction of our country.
Worship of killing unborn children. Mutilation of youngsters in the name of Trans worship. Forced vaccinations, open borders filling our country with people who take our jobs and bring disease. Drug cartels on the border killing our people with fentanyl and other drugs. Foreign wars we have no business causing and paying for.
There is nothing Joyful in any of that Mizz Harris.
Ignorance is bliss.
