Fake fake fake fake fake. Is there any reason to think that they went to Chicago at all?

This tactic worked wonders for Ryan Lochte's career. I can see why a couple teenagers with their own beauty and real estate empire would think it was worth emulating.

From the article: Which means that, naturally, the two have recounted the entire series of events on YouTube, in a magisterial 16-minute-video, entitled “THE REASON WE’RE HOMELESS RIGHT NOW … (no clickbait) STORYTIME.”

Is there a regional usage thing going on here with the word "magisterial"? Because by the common definition, that word does not belong in that sentence at all.

Also, what the hell is going on over at this website that they thought a play-by-play/seemingly sponsored endorsement of a Youtube video was a thing worth publishing?
