2 white men who murdered black men in Oregon released on little to NO bail.

2 separate incidents. One in Bend OR and one in Portland Metro (Multnomah County)

Barry Washington Jr. was unarmed when he died after a single gunshot wound, officials said. He was 22

Bend police officers were called to the scene just after midnight and arrested Ian MacKenzie Cranston, 27. Cranston was booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree manslaughter and soon posted a $10,000 bond to be released.

Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said investigators are still determining what charges Cranston will face. Prosecutors intend to seek an indictment by presenting evidence to a grand jury before Oct. 5.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A road rage incident appears to have led to a fatal shooting in the Gresham Walmart parking lot Monday evening.

According to court documents obtained by KGW, suspect Daniel Hipshman, 26, was driving a white pickup truck when a GMC Yukon SUV driven by Dashawn Hudson, 38 cut him off on Southeast Powell Boulevard. Hudson's wife and four kids were in the vehicle at the time.

A witness said Hipshman pulled up in his white truck and started yelling at Hudson. The witness said Hudson got out of the GMC Yukon and pointed what appeared to be a gun at the suspect. There was more yelling and Hipshman allegedly fired two shots through his truck's passenger window, killing Hudson.

Other witnesses said the suspect yelled something like, "that's what you get for cutting me off" before leaving the scene.

Hudson's wife said she and the kids went outside after hearing gunshots from inside the store and discovered her husband had been killed. An autopsy showed he died of two gunshot wounds to the upper torso.

Democrats need to learn how to bribe lawmakers.

If you can't beat them, join them. It's obvious some lawmakers are accepting bribes. Why not just ask them what their price is?

Alito needs to be investigated. This is from 12/20

Quote:Alito sparked intrigue Sunday morning when he quietly moved up a key filing deadline -- from Wednesday to Tuesday -- in an emergency appeal brought by allies of President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. The change effectively keeps open the possibility of court action before the state's delegates are set in stone.

"When I first saw that Alito had moved the date, it raised red flags for me," said Norm Ornstein, a member of the National Task Force on Election Crises and scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

This article is really tough on Krysten Sinema.

I don't know who The Nation is or if they're credible. I ran into this article on twitter and whoa!!! If true, this is pretty damning!

Some Progressives say President Biden is a moderate....

He's not. He's the most progressive president we have had since Carter. Right now, Biden is dealing with Wild fires, a hurricane, Afghanistan withdrawal, Covid, and more. Both moderates and progressives should be proud to have him at the helm right now. Biden is bad ass!

Waleed Shahid wants a war within the party.

"If that requires knocking out well-known elected officials and replacing them with more radical newcomers, so be it. And if it ends up ripping apart the Democratic Party in the process—well, that might be the idea.

“There is going to be a war within the party. We are going to lean into it,” said Waleed Shahid, the group’s spokesman.
