1. Something about this photo bothered me, beyond the obvious. At first it was the Exit sign that looks like it's above a window. And old wood look was not Mar-a-Logo gaudy gilded gauche. Then I thought, why is Johnson there? It occupied my mind for a bit and here's my analysis. 
2. First, the NY Post today confirmed my guess that they were at Trump's West Palm golf course today, not Mar-a-Lago. The style was all wrong. It's obvious that the Hitler Youth calendar boy didn't go there to play golf so why meet there? Of course that's where Trump was but
3. why did Johnson travel down there just for what was likely a brief meeting rather than a call?
The Pew Research poll has confirmed what many had thought that the @houseGOP decision to join forces with Putin against Ukraine

4. is polling so low to be a definite GOP problem. The @HouseGOp and @SenateGOP can't raise enough money to stay competitive without the Koch and other money machines backing them. The machine funders have proven that they don't want Trump by funding Nikki Haley.
5. They also know that a pro-Kremlin position is not only unpopular but could be an electoral disaster that the GOP funding base may decide is not worth their money to just watch Trump burn it up for Putin. If Ukraine suffers another defeat, and Russia is attacking across
6. a large front, the GOP will be blamed and could face a level of voter anger that the GOP will have difficulty remedying. So why wouldn't a phone call from Johnson who is likely feeling the heat from his shrinking loyal American GOP caucus?
7. And if he needed to meet in person, why the golf course and why not be more forthcoming about it?
I remain convinced Donald Trump gets orders from Putin via cutouts in Florida or perhaps while he's in flight. Putin knows US capabilities but we are not likely the problem.

8. Many non-FVEY @NATO intelligence service may now turn collection efforts on Trump, the MAGA GOP and especially Johnson. Putin would know that. So meeting in Mar-a-Lago that is likely humming with burst-transmitters is not good tradecraft especially
9. when you have an alternative site that may be a bit less buggy. Even if he fire exit is out a window.
