Regarding the “Planned” snowball fight in NYC, this was another example of non-existent deescalation by the police. I am a retired Paramedic that worked in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn in the 1980s. We would get ambushed by snowballs all of the time. One day, for example, driving down Gates Ave., kids were pelting our ambulance with snowballs. We pulled around the corner, made a shitloat of snowballs and returned to the “artillery array” the kids created. Our plan was for me to pop out of the emergency hatch and return fire. I popped my head through the hatch and an older man saw me. He alerted the kids and they fired snowballs at me from all 360 degrees. For every one snowball I could launch, I got pelted by 5 or 6 snowballs. We were all laughing our asses off. Our next drive around that block I held a bandage tied to a splint and we held it out the window. Peace signs were flashed, we were all smiling and laughing, I even shook hands with the older man who ratted me out. No crying, no media coverage, just a couple of civil servants having fun in the community they served.

Putin’s Top Officials Laugh About How Dumb Trump Is

Fetsbruary 26, 2026 at 9:01 am EST By Taegan Goddard 47 Commen

“Vladimir Putin’s top aides are snickering behind Donald Trump’s back because they think the Russian tyrant is playing the MAGA leader like a fiddle,” the Daily Beast reports.

“British spies have repeatedly shared with their U.S. counterparts intercepted calls and texts between ranking Kremlin officials ridden with laughter at what they perceive as Trump’s willingness to take Putin at his word on his invasion of Ukraine.”

Said one UK security official to The Spectator: “We have continually shown them intelligence that shows the Russians are lying. The Russians are privately mocking Trump over his naivety about Putin’s intentions. Putin doesn’t want to end the war.”
