Trump Misquotes Declaration Of Independence During Speech At National Mall
As always, just imagine what the reaction in the right-wing media would be if Joe Biden had done something like this.
Trump delivered a venom-filled speech this Saturday for America's 250th anniversary:
President Donald Trump marked the 250th anniversary of the United States on Saturday with a campaign-style speech that repeated his calls for new voting restrictions, warned that "communists" could gain ground in the country and cycled through what he touted as his achievements.
After a storm-related delay of nearly two hours, Trump appeared on the National Mall in Washington to deliver a speech that mixed broad appeals to patriotism with pointed attacks on perceived ideological threats at home and abroad. [...]
TRUMP WARNS OF COMMUNIST 'CANCER,' WHITE NATIONALISTS APPEAR
"We like to stop a threat like that immediately and before it begins. It's like a cancer – you've got to cut it out and you got to cut it out fast," he said.
The Republican president has in the past repeatedly referred to left-wing Democratic candidates who have won a string of primary elections as "communists," though he did not explicitly do so on Saturday.
And he managed to misquote the Declaration of Independence while he was doing it.

Happy 250 Years Of America! ICE Decides It Isn’t Brutal Enough
The White House is supercharging its deportation efforts again, and the timing shouldn’t go unnoticed.
According to The New York Times, daily immigration arrests have recently doubled as Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers put in seven-day workweeks to sweep the streets of people they’ve deemed deportable.
Over 10,000 immigrants were reportedly detained within a five-day span, with many being targeted at immigration check-ins, traffic stops, and simply while walking down the street. This increase in quota—which demands agents to hit 2,000 arrests a day—comes from the White House, according to the Times.
The timing of this deportation push speaks volumes. The documented and undocumented immigrant communities in the U.S. have been in mourning and shock.
Last week, The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to rip away Temporary Protected Status from Haitian and Syrian immigrants, enabling Trump to deport them more easily and leaving them vulnerable to his will. Many are now scrambling to secure a different type of protected status before ICE comes knocking on their doors.
“Now we are vulnerable, we are exposed to detention and to deportation,” Viles Dorsainvil, executive director of the Haitian Support Center, told Daily Kos in a phone call this past weekend.

Video Of Dallas PD Officer Shoving Egypt World Cup Staff Goes Viral
There have been lots of reports of World Cup teams facing issues in America due to insanely horrible new immigration policies rolled out by the fascist Trump regime.
Reports have included a referee from Somalia being denied entry, an Iraqi team member being denied entry, fans from countries being denied entry (even though they have tickets), Iran's team being forced to lodge their team in Mexico, and after each game, they had to fly out immediately. They could not stay in America overnight at all.
Now we have a viral video of a Dallas Police Department officer getting into a physical altercation with a staff member of the Egypt team. And it looks bad.
The video shows an officer getting into a confrontation with Egypt's team as they posed with fans outside their hotel in Dallas. The officer shoved Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan while posing for a photo with a young fan.
The Dallas officer began arguing with the staff member, with the officer shouting “Back off! Back off!” as he shoved the man backward. Hassan says, “No pushing, no pushing,” to the officer as the altercation intensifies. Another officer can be seen attempting to separate people.
Police claim that the hotel security team called them.
DPD spokesperson put out a statement saying:

Mamdani Marks Country's 250th Birthday, Points Out It's Still Got Some Growing Up To Do
Flanked by a group of naturalized citizens and seated at George Washington's own desk, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used the moment to make a forceful case for the country's history as a nation of immigrants, timed just ahead of the 250th anniversary festivities. The roughly quarter-hour address, delivered July 3, wove in personal biography alongside a more extensive look at America's long tradition of welcoming newcomers from around the globe.
Mamdani drew a sharp contrast: extreme wealth concentration alongside child hunger, and ICE-style enforcement actions described in visceral terms — masked agents making arrests after being served food by the very undocumented workers they're detaining.
"As we mark 250 years, what do we see?" he began before making Republican heads explode. 'We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more."
"We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections," he continued. "We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone."
