He expresses discomfort and at the same time we’re also meant to believe he was ignorant of the torture. The word of the day is BS

Bush himself expressed discomfort when shown pic of detainee in diaper chained to ceiling & forced to defecate on self, sez Intell Rpt.

South Carolina indicted 3 white cops in 4 months, and that's probably not a coincidence wapo.st/1zw6Op8
—
Washington Post (@washingtonpost) December 06, 2025

In South Carolina, a state with a long and deep history of racial discrimination against African Americans, three white law enforcement officers have been indicted in recent months on charges stemming from incidents in which they shot — and in two cases, killed — unarmed black men.

What the Obama economy looks like, in 2 charts wapo.st/1zw88s4 http://t.co/Pyrnsg4iFo

Washington Post (@washingtonpost) December 06, 2025

The release of the November jobs report Friday morning offered good news for the economy writ large (big job growth, still to be adjusted) and therefore for President Obama. Obama has now observed the release of about three-quarters of the jobs reports that fell under his jurisdiction — 23 more until the presidential election! — meaning, as a corollary, that we now have a pretty good sense of how his tenure will be viewed. Because the economy is so big and so diverse, individual numbers tend to get hard to see in comparison to the overall trend. Health care stands out (here including social assistance workers); it has seen growth month after month after month.
