Does Pence have any particular known reaction to his ex-boss having put his life at risk?
Pence is not exactly the image of “Don’t Tread on Me” — maybe the opposite.
Assume that the Fly has not been invited to testify before the Senate today.
Perhaps the Fly will come to the Senate proceedings in a Perry Mason moment.
The Fly demands to testify.
Having not been invited to join the Pences on vacation in the Virgin Islands, the Fly might now be ready to flip.

Would guess that yesterday's Screen Actors Guild letter was not first time in his life that this ex-President has told someone, “You have done nothing for me."
Perhaps someone could now please make bumper stickers that say, “You have done nothing for me."
“You have done nothing for me."

Hope that Pence never tries to claim that he didn’t try to turn himself into Trump’s Mini-Me (Alex Wong / Getty):

Am sure that by now, Pence has excused Trump for that silly little happy-to-have-him-killed incident.

Continuing the gastrointestinal theme, ex-President has just announced that David Gasser will be replaced as impeachment lawyer by Bruce Castor.
Trump’s previous impeachment lawyers reportedly could no longer “stomach” his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Which recalls the Three Stooges classic “Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise” (1939):

Someone has spray-painted the word “Unfair!’ on Presidential bedroom wall at White House. Could paint crew come to the second floor, please?

Tonight, in our beloved country:
"Defense officials tell AP they fear possible inside attack at inauguration, will have National Guard troops vetted.”
This AP report about fears of “possible inside attack” shows why security and safety must overwhelm any other consideration when President and Vice President are sworn in on Wednesday.
Please reconsider possibility of inauguration at military base or another fortified location. Symbolism must bow to safety.

Now Lindsey Graham is pleading by letter with the new Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Schumer, to shut down Trump’s impeachment trial, on grounds of avoiding “further division.” Graham claims that otherwise “history will judge us harshly."
Chutzpah, thy name is Lindsey Graham.
In the LBJ lexicon for politicians for whom he had contempt, Lindsey Graham would qualify as a “squealing worm."
