Meet the Shadow team in charge of developing an app meant to help tally the votes from the Iowa caucus on Monday night. The purpose of the app was to help the process run more smoothly, but in the end it proved to be a complete and utter disaster, as precinct chairs supposedly couldn't get the app to actually work, in turn causing a delay in reporting.

The delay was blamed on "inconsistencies" in reporting, but honestly, who really knows what the truth is.

The team is reportedly run by people who worked on Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016. Additionally, 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg's campaign paid the tech firm over $40,000 in 2019 leading many to suspect foul play.

But this is America, and we can't possibly have problems with corruption, right?

As of right now, we still don't have all the results from the caucus, so while you continue to anxiously refresh the New York Times page, have some hot Twitter takes on the people (rats) behind Shadow, Inc.

What started as Bernie Sanders writing an innocent thank you note to his field staff on a white board turned into memers filling it in with hotter takes and less savory messages. Seriously, people should know better at this point than to post images on the internet of people with white boards. It's just asking for bad news.

We've got another War on Christmas-type scenario, people! Although this time it's a war on Thanksgiving, according to a statement made by Donald Trump at a rally in Sunrise, Florida. Trump claimed that liberals want to change the name of Thanksgiving to something a little more "politically correct," and assured supporters that the name would indeed stay the same. 

Our only question here is, can we focus on something that, like, actually matters? Please?

Man, the 2020 presidential race has barely kicked off and we're already seeing loads of meme-able material from it. 

This time it's Joe Biden, who made a decent-sized mistake during last night's second democratic debate when he told supporters to "go to Joe30330." 

Of course, what he meant to say was text "Joe" to 30330 and even though we're pretty sure most people knew what he meant to say, that hasn't stopped the internet from roasting poor ol' Joe for not quite understanding how technology and social media work!

Are you sick and tired of your typical run-of-the-mill 2020 presidential candidates? If so, then Ace Watkins might just be your man. He's campaigned himself as being America's first gamer president, and has vowed to represent one of America's "most misunderstood political demographics." He's even collected more Twitter followers in one week than democratic candidate John Delaney. 

We're sad to report that "Ace Watkins" actually started out as a fake presidential campaign, but who knows, maybe he'll run for real if he gets enough serious support? We'll keep our fingers crossed and our eyes peeled for more incoming memes and tweets!

We're not here to get all political with you all, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to share these hilarious parody tweets. The roasts started when Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner tweeted, "New post: Elizabeth Warren's plan to cancel student loan debt would be a slap in the face to all those who struggled to pay off their loans." We're lazy, so we're not going to go into more detail, but you can read about it here.

As you can probably see, this line of thinking is a bit flawed, so accordingly, Twitter users had a field day with it! 

The normally bald Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's senior advisor, is getting roasted for sporting a very obvious spray-on hairstyle. Miller appeared for an interview on Face the Nation yesterday to discuss the potential of a government shutdown, and the internet had no chill about it. Here are some of the best reactions and memes to come from the hair-styling mishap.

Sarah was just trying to do her civic duty as a volunteer when this guy decided to hilariously troll her!

After the 'Women's March' this weekend, Patton Oswalt and Piers Morgan got to planning their own 'Men's March' with hilarious implications. 

Patton's taste and comedic flare really shines during this extensive, satirical, and lengthy exchange with the men of the world.

Stay strong brothers.
