Houthis on the golf course? & battling the "slate of hate" in GA
Remember the four years of noise from the right about Joe Biden being the doddering, senile old man who wasn't really "in charge" of his presidency?
So now that we're all aware of the Signal app "klatch" (read the dialogue here) ruminating over clearly classified information (except, "nuh-uh!") the question that came up for me, mostly recently is "where was the President?"
Images of Presidents and their inner circle in the "situation room" or a secure room flanked by monitors and communication paraphernalia come to mind, right?
He was playing golf. (cue the 'sad trombone' effect) So, who's in charge? Elon runs amok with DOGE; attorney general Pam Bondi seems to have taken up permanent residence at Fox News to fling vapid threats, and JD Vance and Pete Hegseth and the intel fellas get on Signal to play real life "Call of Duty?"
While POTUS plays golf.
Oh, and because Hegseth lies like you and I breathe, it's worth noting that his characterization of Biden having "cratered" in the face of the threat from Houthis is an out-and-out LIE.
------
Meanwhile, under the gold dome in Georgia's capitol city of Atlanta, "religious freedom" zealots are continuing their decade-long quest to codify protections for bigotry and bias under the thin veil of religion. With me to discuss his and his organization's efforts to (again) stifle it and combat another round of anti-trans legislation, Georgia Equality executive director Jeff Graham.
Also, how is it that LGBTQ+ sports organizations have been working for nearly half a century to find a place for any and everyone who wants to play sports - even heterosexuals - yet the notion befuddles anti-trans activists on the right in 2025?
