It sure would be nice to see the President mention the word "Portland" in any of his tweets. He had enough time to trash "the media" again today but not enough time to comment on Portland? I guess terrorism isn't terrorism when it's a white supremacist who commits the act, right?
Thoughts and prayers for these 2 heroes and their families!

US police have identified the two men killed by a white supremacist on a train in Portland as they attempted to defend passengers the suspect was bullying.
On Friday, Jeremy Joseph Christian - a 35-year-old who was known to authorities - stabbed to death 53-year-old Ricky John Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, 23, after they stepped in to defend two girls Christian was bullying.
At least one of the girls was wearing a headscarf and is believed to be Muslim.
Christian is reported to have shouted Islamophobic slurs at the girls, as well as other hate speech.
Police said on Saturday that Best died at the scene and that Meche succumbed to his wounds at a hospital after Christian slit their throats.
A third victim, 21-year-old Micah David-Cole Fletcher, was also stabbed in the attack and is in serious condition at a hospital in Portland, Oregon. Police say his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
