    Maybe he thought that JD Vance wouldn't let him vote as he has no stake in the future of the country.

    There must be some secret competition in the GOP to see who can come up with the weirdest shit each week.

    Honestly, I think it captures most of it perfectly. Some stuff goes beyond weird. But most of it, like this story, is just WEIRD AS SHIT

    Yeah, I made the mistake of clicking on a trending topic on Twitter about the Hurricane damage in Western NC and it took me down such a weird rabbit hole of people claiming all sorts of bizarre things. One guy followed a Tweet about how it is terrible that the media was exaggerating the impacts of the storm with a Tweet about how horrible it was that a bunch of people were about to lose their houses due to an imminent flood from the hurricane. Another person was trying to claim that this was an attack by China. Another was insisting that Trump would buy everybody a new house when he became President again. Just bonkers stuff.

    Well, Trump told all Helene victims they would be fine, so that should placate the families of the 50 dead people and counting.

    I saw a Tweet that Democrats used some kind of weapon to aim the hurricane at red states to stop people there from voting.

    Come on, this is no big deal. The campaign explains that he wasn't trying to pretend that's his family. He just happened to be with 'female supporters and their kids." Multiple times. You know, around the dining room table.

    Provide a link to a credible source verifying that the Langes are actors. Just asking. And by the way a tweet from a person tweeting under a screen name doesn't qualify as a credible source. I would also add that the video in the tweet is clearly labeled "opinion". Not saying that it's not possible that they are actors but until I see your link to a credible source I'm considering your narrative b*ll sh*t.

    What?

    "Last month Primanti Brothers kicked out all their patrons and brought in paid actors when Kamala Harris was visiting their restaurant."

    Rent-A-Family: The Japanese Industry Reimagining What Family Means (hivelife.com)

    Would you rent a family? In Japan, you certainly can. Meet Ishii Yuichi, founder of Family Romance, the company spearheading the hugely popular Japanese phenomenon of ‘family rental services.’


    37-year-old Ishii Yuichi is a father to over 25 families and a husband to over 600 women – but none of them are his real family members. Together with the 1,200 actors he employs at his company Family Romance, he has played every part from stand-in father for a wedding, missing dad to long lost son and even make-believe groom in his job as a companion for hire. For a fee starting from JPY 8000, customers can place an order at his Tokyo-based family rental service company for professional companions tailored to their specific requests (i.e. temperament, appearance, behaviour), whether they’re searching for a friend to pose with in happy Instagram photos, an infant to impersonate a grandson or a groom for a staged wedding.
