Please join us in enjoying our latest shenanigans, and don’t forget to scroll down to see our latest blog posts!

A week ago, to the delight of the Standing Rock protesters, and the disgust of those who actually know better – the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it would not grant an easement to the Dakota Access Pipeline, blocking the construction. We had something to say about that:

There r multiple means to transport oil, 0 of which r perfect.The protests at Standing Rock did nothing for the actual issue. #standingrock

The oil has 2 and will b transported. Do any of the protestors consider the alt? What r their arguments? We don't know. #standingrock

— CC Hayes ? (@_CCHayes) December 5, 2016

What we do know is that the protests have exploited an entire culture based on claims with little substance. #standingrock

— CC Hayes □ (@_CCHayes) December 5, 2016

The alt transportation methods are dangerous and expensive, which coincidently may halt innovation 4 greener energy. Good job #standingrock

Pitch-a-fit politics. Usually works when leftists are in charge. Because they hate America having a strong economy. Also, they're pussies. https://t.co/icccEBvRah

Last Monday, Trump met with Al Gore, causing all kinds of speculation.

So Trump drained the swamp and found Al Gore down there? Do I have that right?

— CDP □ (@cdpayne79) December 5, 2016

Trump was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year – causing a complete nuclear meltdown on the left.

I bet all three of them drank water too. https://t.co/0fxIOwto36

Honda announced the possibility of a concept car that would have "emotions" of its own.

Some wonderful soul started a tweeting trend: “Me at the beginning of 2016 VS. me at the end of 2016.” Hilarity ensued.

RUSSIA is back in the news, with the announcement of a “Secret CIA assessment” claiming  Russia tried to influence the presidential election.

Media: "Foreign governments trying to influence an election?! Clutch the pearls, this is unprecedented!!!"
CIA: "Oh, yea. Totally□"

— Alex F. Baldwin□ (@VerumVulnero1) December 10, 2016

Many people suddenly decrying Russia as the great evil of our time supported Bernie "literally honeymooned in the Soviet Union" Sanders.

— Vixen the Reindeer (@VixenRogue) December 10, 2016

The Dems also mocked Romney in 2012 for calling Russia our top geopolitical threat. But, yeah, you're concerned about the Putin toady.

— Mo Mo ? (@molratty) December 10, 2016

If CIA concluded this, they haven't said publicly. Unnamed sources. I'll wait for verifiable evidence before calling for heads to roll. https://t.co/1QlYlQzxSw

The Russians are making me pour myself another eggnog with whiskey.

Ben Franklin would have been hilarious on twitter. The format would've been a good fit.
