With all this casual talk about a possible nuclear war between the United States and North Korea, it's cool to have some levity. And it's especially cool when that levity comes in the form of a song that conveys all of your feelings about the state of the executive office right now. A Desperate Sexy Song For Mike Pence, a satirical music video made byDominique Salerno and Laura Hankin, is just what America needs.

The music video features Hankin and Salerno in bathrobes singing lustily about Vice President Mike Pence well, kind of.

Boy we've been lying awake all night terrified, the song starts. The women go on to sing that they'recraving a man who understands a brief and who calls his wife Mother.'

And then the chorus kicks in: Mike Pence, would you save us from nuclear war?

No, this isn't an earnest call for Pence to take over as president. Rather, the song voices a thought process many of us have had since the 2016 presidential election: President Donald Trump seems existentially risky to have as a president, so we might all feel physically safer if he were impeached and Pence took over, but Pence, well, kind of sucks for rights and freedoms of all Americans.

We'd regularly debate which horrifying man would be better as president, and freak out, and rehash the same arguments over and over again, Hankin and Salerno tell Elite Daily in an email. So we figured we might as well channel all our terror into a Britney Spears-esque video.

Or, asthey sing, Mike Pence, you'd be awful for ladies and gays but you might not usher in the end of days.

(You should really watch to the end of the video for the savageconclusion.)

Nuclear panic is high as Trump said North Korea would face fire andfury like the world has never seen if the country threatens the U.S. This came on the heels of reportsthat North Korea has missile-ready nuclear weapons.

With Trump, EVERYTHING seems wildly, scarily unpredictable. With him and Kim Jong-un, you're looking at two people who don't act according to logic, so anything could happen, Hankin and Salerno tell me in their email. At least Pence most likely wouldn't conduct foreign policy through tweeting. The Tweet that launched a thousand missiles is not what we want.

Although they are of course concerned about the liberty effects of a Pence presidency, at least you can overturn laws. You can't un-nuclear bomb a city.

And there you have it.

Paging Vice President Mike Pence - The News Tribune

Months after he left office to become Trump's running mate, former Indiana governor Mike Pence is finally releasing emails from his personal AOL accounts. This sort of thing would normally be reserved for only the wonkiest of public records wonks, but the Trump campaign spent a great deal of time deriding Hillary Clinton for using a personal email account to handle official State Department email.

It's slightly more of a big deal, thanks to Pence's efforts to keep these emails from becoming public. He went to court late last year to protect the content of certain emails from being released. Pence's lawyer actually argued the court had no business telling the governor's office what can and can't be redacted. So much for the idea of checks and balances.

As the result of multiple requests and multiple lawsuits, Pence is now releasing most of what [his lawyer says] is contained in his AOL accounts.

Pence attorney Karoline Jackson said in a recent email to the state's legal counsel that a complete electronic production of state records" from Pence's time as governor had been delivered to the state as of June 23.

The office of Pence's successor, Gov. Eric Holcomb, said the records consist of state-related emails from two AOL accounts Pence used as governor.

"Our office is now in the process of reviewing the records, and we anticipate being in a position to provide copies of records that are responsive to pending (public record) requests soon," Holcomb spokeswoman Stephanie Wilson said.

So, according to his own spokespeople, Pence will finally be complying with the state's public records law. Not that he didn't try to be a dick about it.

Previously, Pence had only provided some of his AOL emails to the state, and those he did provide were in paper form, making them difficult to search.

Fortunately for those requesting the emails, the new, full batch will come in electronic form, which will greatly assist them in finding the contents they're interested in. According to the WHAS11 report, there are more than 50 open records requests targeting Pence's AOL emails.

While this doc dump will result in far more transparency than Pence is used to, there are still some concerns about what's being withheld. Rather than have his former office review the emails before turning them over to requesters, Pence had his private lawyer take a look at them instead. That's not really the way things are supposed to work for public officials. This will make redactions and withheld documents more difficult to challenge, as there's another layer -- a non-government layer -- of vetting separating requesters from their requested documents.

There's also a good chance whatever's being looked at is incomplete. Public officials who use private email for official business are supposed to forward all work-related emails to government servers for storage. At this point, there appears to be no indication Pence has done that. Instead, a privately-employed lawyer has been picking through what's left in two private AOL accounts and everyone involved is claiming, without supporting evidence, they're living up to the letter and spirit of Indiana's open records laws.

Months Later, VP Mike Pence Ready To Turn Over Private Emails, Explain What An AOL Account Is - Techdirt

WASHINGTON ( The Borowitz Report )Vice-President Mike Pence is seriously considering running for President in 1820, various sources confirmed over the weekend.

According to several prominent Republican donors, Pence is already laying the groundwork for such a campaign, outlining what he believes are the most serious challenges facing 1820 America.

In a conference call with donors last week, Pence reportedly said that, as President, his No. 1 priority would be to repeal and replace the Bill of Rights.

He offered a sneak preview of a potential 1820 stump speech, in which he unleashed a brutal attack on the Bill of Rights author, James Madison, and called for the development of the telegraph key.

According to Harland Dorrinson, a donor who was on the conference call, Mike believes hes the right man to bring America into the nineteenth century, just like he did for Indiana.

But minutes after the rumors were reported, the Vice-President pushed back, putting quill to parchment to call the reports bunkum and balderdash.

America already has the perfect man to lead it in 1820, and that man is Donald J. Trump, Pence wrote.

In Washington, some political insiders also threw cold water on the Pence-in-1820 talk, arguing that the timing was not right. Pences best shot was 1620, one said.

If she finds success, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., won't be content with only impeaching President Trump.

The California Democrat revealed on The Breakfast Club Monday morning that in the unlikely scenario Democrats managed to impeach Trump, she would go after Vice President Mike Pence next. Waters, perhaps the most visible proponent of impeachment in Congress, told the hosts of the popular radio program, "Bit by bit, drip by drip, it's coming home to roost."

Citing the infamous Trump dossier that reputable liberal journalists declined to publish because at least some of its information was inaccurate, Waters predicted Trump would be impeached by December. "I believe it is possible to impeach him," she remarked. "How long is it going to take? I don't know, but I give it to about December."

"But doesn't the vice president then become president?" one of the hosts asked.

"Could be, and we'll get him next," said Waters.
