Top tip! You too, can stimulate the economy, by dumping your shopping straight in the refuse soon as you get home, then go out and buy some more.
Why stop there? Set fire to your car today and stimulate the used car market and give the firefighters something to do.

Think of it as Independence Day and Thanksgiving rolled into one, only with the additional benefit of a pinata in the shape of a disembowelled tyrant hanging from his feet.

I also think this is the cowardly friendly approach. He'll be all smiles in person, vindictive and hateful as soon as he's out of range.
In person, I think Mamdani is just going to run rings around him. Newsome does the same. AOC and Bernie as well.

I think it's partly this. His body language is completely different to his standard. But it's also not like when he's with Putin. With Putin, he's sombre and hunched, very submissive. This is him being unexpectedly friendly.
