(1) The "what?" part is that today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aligned himself with The Club. McConnell, Haley, Pence, Noem and DeSantis all part of the cocktail donor group, the R-Club, the right wing of the uniparty.
(2) Timing matters because this is the year when the RNC, the mechanism of the R-Club, meets after the mid-term election and establishes the rules for the 2024 presidential election.
Most casual political observers do not follow closely.
(3) As a result, before the winter 2022 meeting of the rules, the political alignments of the individual members who will position to use the Club must be determined.
Each candidate makes their choice this year.
(4) The club insiders, mostly influential donors who control political outcomes, then establish the roadmap for the next general election based on their overall selected candidate(s).
Those selected candidates are what we call the "insiders", or party candidates.
(5) The actual party map for 2024 is drawn out *after* the 2022 midterms. The map includes the timing of primary election dates, the sequence of states for the primary, and other factors (winner take all vs proportional, etc) to lay the groundwork for the insider candidates.
(6) Everything is gamed-out, and other candidates are then approached to participate in the process. Those other candidates are carefully selected, then funded to enter the race to split, modify or adjust the state vote according to the insider Club strategy.
(7) Any candidate running for 2024 POTUS knows this game, knows this insider Club process, but may not know the actual Club rules and Club map because the details are not decided until after the midterm.
(8) This phase we are in right now is the Club vetting phase. Each candidate reviewed, and each candidate making a tribal alignment within the RNC Club structure.
That's why Pence and DeSantis appearing today, at a club event, tells us the FL governor has chosen his tribe.
(9) If the R-Club can eliminate any outsider between now and the deciding time of spring 2023, they will.
This is what people call political power-brokering.
The larger club goal is to only have controlled "insiders" on the actual ticket of options, within their map.
(10) That's the "so what?"
Nothing in this process happens coincidentally. Each wing of the UniParty bird, each club, presents the illusion of choice based on pre-determined alignments.
(11) Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis affirmed his alignment with Mike Pence, which tells the club he's in. DeSantis is an "insider."
The Club will proceed accordingly. The R-Club wants to eliminate the risk of uncontrollable MAGA voters, by eliminating or steering them.
(12) Understandably, given his generally solid approach as a governor, some supporter sensibilities are wounded by any message that points negatively toward DeSantis.
However, it's the stuff that takes place in background that most miss. Thus, there's a disconnect in knowledge
(16) In order to understand The Club moves in 2023 for 2024, you must continually monitor the club moves much earlier. It's a lot of work, and leads to many disappointing revelations, but the Club counts on us not doing it.

Quebec City Canada Officially Proclaims, The Peasants are Revolting zpr.io/948iwaGRYQji
It really does seem like something out of a modern-day Monty Python skit.
Officials in the city of Quebec City, Canada were fearful the pesky unwashed peasants might make their way to the parliament buildings, so they blocked the passages and sent guards to ensure no one could traverse the ramparts.
(1) @erinotoole, please accept this counter thread with the spirit of its intent.
There comes a time when you need to channel the raw frustration of your constituents – put them into articulate voice and focus – not pontificate about their delicate humanism in your arguments.
(2) @erinotoole The working class Canadian people are angry, very ANGRY. Your downplaying of their valid and justified sense of anger, is akin to a dismissal of very valid grievance, not just against Trudeau, but also against YOU.
(3) @erinotoole, What the hell kind nonsense is this? A concern about tone, sensibilities, portrayals?
If your goal was to miss the moment, skip the point, talk as if the media was YOUR audience, & put on a performance focused on the irrelevant; then, mission accomplished.
The DOJ/FBI are a corrupt and rusted political apparatus, used as offensive weapons against any entity who would challenge the interests of the Deep State.
That reality must be kept hidden from the American people.
Bill Barr was the Bondo. John Durham is the spray paint.
The current heads of the Biden DOJ and FBI would never allow Durham to continue if they thought for a minute the DC institutional credibility would be compromised as an outcome.
In many ways Durham is like the corrupt OIG, vacuuming up stray bits that might lead to questions.
The government did not hide their reasoning, as immigration minister Alex Hawke said getting Djokovic out of the country was “fundamental to safe-guarding Australia’s *social cohesion* which continues to strengthen despite the pandemic.”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed the Hawke sentiment saying forcing Novak Djokovic out of the country quickly was a matter of “public interest “, because his continued presence would destabilize the government.
1/ Technically it was never really stopped. In the original pdf guidance for the 2014 research pause of into weaponization of SARS viruses there was an important footnote:
2/ [FN¹ SOURCE – U.S. Government Gain-of-Function Deliberative Process and Research Funding Pause on Selected Gain-of-Function Research Involving Influenza, MERS, and SARS Viruses – pdf, page 2 – October 17, 2014]
3/ The 2014 pause allowed agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding GoF if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”
