No, “shotts”. They’re like shots, but better.
I really don’t know who ran Shots, but – IIRC – it is where Laverne and Shirley both worked
I thought they were a music publisher.

Happy–FORE!–New Year.
Donald Trump wasted precisely zero time getting back out on the golf course after spending almost a quarter of last year hitting the links at the taxpayer’s expense.
The president appears to have spent New Year’s Day playing the green at Trump International Golf Club Palm Beach in Florida, according to a photo uploaded to Instagram Thursday by his videographer, Michael Solakiewicz.
Only the day before, the Daily Beast reported the MAGA leader had visited his various golf clubs 88 times since last January, accounting for just over 25 percent of the days he’s spent back in the White House so far.
25% in 2025 and now 50% in 2026. The felon’s numbers are going up!
The felon says George Clooney supported for political office…let me check…Aunt Jemimah ? (The bolding is mine; the racism is Rip van Simple’s.)
He contiuned, “Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!) , who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat.
No surprise here. Hiroshi Nagai’s work discussed above was used without permission.
The US Department of Homeland Security is facing backlash once again, this time from a Japanese artist who has condemned the agency for using, without permission, his work to promote deportations.
In a post on X on New Year’s Eve, the department posted a photo featuring a pristine and empty beach with palm trees and a vintage car. Written across the photo was “America after 100 million deportations,” along with a separate caption that said: “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”
In response to the post, Hiroshi Nagai, a 78-year old Japanese graphic designer known for his city pop and dreamscape artwork, said on X: “This image is being used without permission from the US department of homeland security. What should I do about this?”
Major winter storms hit the country. What to do, what to do? Oh, yes. Cut FEMA staff!
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem quietly axed dozens of key workers at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in a round of emails sent out on New Year’s Eve.
Around 50 staff members from the Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery (CORE) team—who play a vital role in preparing for and responding to natural disasters—received an email on Dec. 31 informing them their “services will no longer be needed” and their contracts will expire in early January, according to CNN.
The move is believed to be part of a broader effort by the Department of Homeland Security to lay off thousands of disaster relief workers at FEMA under the Trump administration’s federal cost-cutting plans, an approach that has already raised fears it could cost lives.
And the pink slips were sent out on New Year’s Eve? Happy New Year!
Should not this indulgence be encouraged?
I agree. I can think of few places where Trump could do less damage to the country and the world than on a golf course. And the people he cheats know what they’re getting into. More golfing for Trump; every day, if possible!
Where’s Stephen Miller during all these golf trips?
Obviously he should be obligated to be 45/47’s caddy.
I think he’s calling the shots.

Running the country, one assumes.
Yup.
That’s why I asked the question:
Continuing the discussion from Are There Any Strong MAGA Politicians? .
This didn’t get any response elsewhere, and I’d really like to know what y’all think.
Will they just accept the party’s choice to run in 2028, whether it’s Vance or, dog forbid, trump? They must have someone in mind.

The following is the entirety of today’s White House press pool report. They appear to be hiding him from public view again, like that week in October when he looked like he was getting Weekend at Bernies’d to the golf course and back.

Specifically, “dog forbid, trump.”
On my first reading, I read that as “dog food trump.” I suppose I should clean my glasses, but I guess it works either way.

Dog food? Nope. Dog turd is what he looks like; dog turd is what he purportedly smells like. Dog turd is what he is.
Murderers . And where have you been? White don’t murder; they defend themselves from the real perceived threat.

Venezuela says the US has attacked a number of states in the country.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.
Pentagon referred requests for comment to the White House, which didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment. Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration has banned U.S. commercial flights in Venezuelan airspace over “ongoing military activity” ahead of explosions in Caracas.
Calls to the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees military operations in the region, went unanswered.
Not getting that peace prize really has the orange menace peeved.
