RUSSIAN HACKERS GROW BOLDER

WHEN INTERFERING WITH AMERICAN

VOTERS

@nicoleperlroth

When you vote remember please

that Russians push most of the keys.

If they don't like the choice you make

they have a better one that's fake.

Persistent voters who complain

will soon be labeled as insane,

and taken to a quiet 'camp'

where through the swamp they gaily tramp.

TEXAS REFUSES TO PROCESS ANY

MORE REFUGEES.

@ReisThebault

1. Down there in the Lone Star State
2. immigrants have met their fate;
3. "We don't want you here at all!"
4. is what Texans like to call.
5. "Furriners like you annoy --

so git back there to Illinois!"

OLDER TECH WORKERS IN SILICON VALLEY

STRIVE FOR YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE

WITH PLASTIC SURGERY

@peterjholley

In the Valley Silicon

youth is what they're all bent on.

Wrinkles give your age away;

and should your hair start to gray

they'll say that you have lost your bloom

and must go work in the mail room.

So get a facelift PDQ,

or else your job becomes doo-doo!
