J.D. Vance's Chilling Promise: 'I'm Ready To Take Over'

In a recent interview, Vice President J.D. Vance declared, “Should a tragedy happen, I’m ready to take over.” Stark words from a man who, until now, has mostly been photographed on extended vacations – however there was a reported rendezvous in Montana with Rupert Murdoch, the Fox News kingmaker himself.

Vance, Peter Thiel’s golden child, lies in wait as whispers of the president’s decline spread across the internet. Elon Musk has already abandoned his half-baked “American Party” stunt, leaving the tech broligarchy to quietly plan for a post-Trump reality.

And when the teachings of neo-reactionary thinker and blogger Curtis Yarvin start filtering into the West Wing, America won’t be dealing with a fading cult of personality anymore – but blatant and outright fascism. It will be something far more organized, and far more dangerous.

Which makes the president’s disappearing act all the more unsettling. This is a malignant narcissist who hasn’t stayed out of the headlines since the 1970s – there is zero chance he would nearly vanish over a long weekend, the prime season for staged golf photos with celebrities were something not going on with his health. The White House isn’t telling us the full story. And maybe the vice president already knows.
