They seem to have mistranslated the original German.

The office of the #USattorney in #DC [ #JeaninePirro] has unironically opened a #criminal “investigation” into #JeromePowell, the #FederalReserve chair, over the central bank’s renovation of its Washington HQ & whether Powell lied to Congress about the scope of the project…. [cough cough, #ballroom, cough cough, #EastWing, cough cough, #KennedyCenter…cough cough, cough cough…]

#Trump put no time limit on the #US #occupation. It would be up to the #UnitedStates to decide when to return the country to Venezulan control. And then he turned to #oil, saying that US companies would fix the infrastructure, “& start making money for the country.” [doubt any will go to Venezuelans]

#Trump referred to a “partnership” between #Venezuela & the #UnitedStates, which he said would make Venezuelans “rich, independent & safe.” Of course, this was a partnership accomplished by a #GovernmentOverthrow.
BTWs Trump’s asides about #DC, #NOLA, & #LA are total bullshit. No murder in NOLA & DC since his illegal intervention? Flat out lies.

Time for a new #introduction post after the move!
I'm Sar, a 50yr old nerdy guy from Northern Ireland. I love IT, and am into tech and all things computing.
My hobbies include playing #WorldOfWarcraft, reading about World Of #Warcraft and thinking about #WoW
Seriously though, my *other* hobbies also include:
#Astronomy
#Linux (alternating between #Bazzite & #ArchLinux)
#Gaming on #Steam, #PS5 & #Switch (mainly on PC though, see above!)
#SciFi such as #StarWars, #Startrek, #Babylon5, #Marvel & #DC etc
Also a screenshot junkie #VirtualPhotography
I'm also awaiting the results of my #Autism diagnosis as I write this, and am also fairly confident I have #ADHD as well, giving me the #AuDHD super-deluxe wombo-combo 😂
I decided to make the jump to this self-hosted instance at the end of 2025 after many happy years on masto.ai/@sar, and have no regrets.
Yet.

WTF??
Homeland “Security” seeks “emergency” demolition of #historic buildings in #DC.
#DHS Secretary #KristiNoem, in a memo obtained by WaPo, said the buildings “constitute a present risk to life & property.” Preservationists contend no evidence of an emergency exists.
Who wants to bet there are buildings bearing the name #Trump being planned for those sites?
This is an obvious work around to #landmark #preservation #law.

I was trying to figure out why Kash Patel had thrown a Jan 6-er under the bus in a bid to keep his job. But I think I see now lmao . . . .
This is one republican Trump likely won't be pardoning.

Rolling Stone is back with more reporting on the unit of child soldiers the alleged DC National Guard attacker was the CIA groomed him for.
On the ground reporting from DC tonight indicates that the illegally deployed National Guard troops have largely stood down for the night and have abondened their "high visibility" patrols which had become common in DC.

Wait wait wait, the guy was a child soldier. The CIA initially recruited him when he was 14 or 15. 🤦🏿♂️
