Not every ex-Vice President tries to cozy up to the ex-President who seemed OK letting him be in danger of assassination.
Almost looks as if Trump is letting Pence be “cancelled."
Since our children are watching, it’s not a bad thing for our national leaders to demonstrate the personal quality of self-respect.
In honor of Mike Pence, lyrics from “As Long as He Needs Me” — “Oliver” (1960):

"In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me
Who else would love him still
When they've been used so ill. . . .
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me."

Ronald and Nancy Reagan after wedding, today 1952, at home of their friends Ardis and William Holden, who were the only guests. Mrs. Reagan much later told me that the Holdens were fighting that day, and barely spoke to each other. Toluca Lake, California.
William Holden served as Ronald Reagan’s best man two years after appearing with Gloria Swanson in “Sunset Boulevard” (1952).
Sadly Holden met a sad end in 1981, when, after drinking in his apartment, he fell, struck his head and bled to death.

Maybe the seditious Mr. Pillow and Senator from Texas could unite for a buddy film.
The buddy film might begin with the seditious Mr. Pillow and Senator climbing into white Bronco with passports and cash, headed for Mexico.
Thanks to @JolieSibert, who proposes an NPR show for the notorious duo, called “Morning Sedition."

Silver figurines on Oval Office mantel in “Seven Days in May” (1964), which told of military coup d’etat and insurrection against United States, and more recently:
The great John Frankenheimer directed both “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962) and “Seven Days in May” (1964).
Robert Kennedy spent day of June 4, 1968, at Malibu home of his friend John Frankenheimer (born February 19, 1930), who then drove RFK to Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. RFK’s death helped to drive Frankenheimer into years of what he called “deep depression” and drinking.

Has Snowflake hired lawyers yet?
Whichever lawyer Snowflake hires, van der Veen will probably take the opposing side.
Snowflake should call a press conference today and tell all about past treatment in household.

On the coffee table in the fading resort club in South Florida is the model of an imaginary Presidential plane painted with the red and black colors of a long-closed air shuttle service, which the airline's erstwhile owner named after himself before going bankrupt.
Ex-President derided the blue of Air Force One as a “Jackie Kennedy color” that needed to be banished, but watch who gets the last laugh. Same with Mrs. Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden, which he eviscerated after publicly insulting her daughter.
Did ex-President have the mausoleum-like “Tennis Pavilion” built so that the White House tennis court would never again look the way it did when President Obama played basketball there?
