JD Vance Makes 25th Amendment A Very Dicey Proposition

An interview of Vice President JD Vance by conservative podcaster Benny Johnson released today is stimulating fresh speculation about the unsteady state of our nation’s presidential line of succession–as reported by Newsweek, expounding on the eminently Lauren Boebert-y subject of unidentified flying objects:

“I’m obsessed with this,” Vance said. “I’ve already had a couple of times where I’m like, all right, we’re going to Area 51, we’re going out to New Mexico. We’re going to sort of get to the bottom of this. And then the timing of the trip just didn’t work out. But trust me, anybody who’s curious about this, I’m more curious than anybody. And I’ve got three years of the very tippy top of the classification. I’m going to get to the bottom of it.”

He continued to explain his beliefs about UFOs and why he thinks they’re “demons.”

“Celestial beings who fly around, who do weird things to people, I think that the desire to describe everything celestial, everything as otherworldly—to describe it as aliens. I mean, every great world religion, including Christianity, the one that I believe in, has understood that there are weird things out there, and there are things that are very difficult to explain,” he said.

It’s been several hours since this interview was released, and nobody appears to be trying to spin it as a joke:

We’re as trauma and drama-fatigued as any other information source trying to keep up with the wacky news cycle in the Trump era, but this one still managed to shock us out of our jadedness on a Friday evening. This is the Vice President of the United States, one literal heartbeat away from control over America’s doomsday arsenal, speculating that the aliens who we don’t conclusively know exist or not (not even Barack Obama despite what you may have heard) are actually demons of the old school Judeo-Christian bad guy variety. Or maybe like the ones you kill in Doom? It does make one wonder, as much as Americans might want to be rid of our unpopular President by any lawful means, whether we’d be even worse off if Vance took over. And that might suit Donald Trump just fine.

Most likely, if the government had proof of aliens or demons, Trump would have released it by now to distract from the Epstein files.
