Then, to answer your points...

No actual Twitter functionality (i.e. being able to like, share tweet) lol

so what? this, if implemented properly, is a fantastic display of: funny idea, quick execution, beautifuly crafted (again, give it some more css love)

Search bar should at least refresh the page on submit

start by making it nice to the eyes, which I think was your intent, but focus on mobile...

Might add some kind of 'info' or home page describing the project I chose to make it chronological order (or would you call this reverse chron? idk but oldest on top) because it seemed to make the most sense to me, story/creativity-wise, but obv I recognize this is not how actual twitter works lol

yeah.. You can say that the reason is you not implementing a twitter news feed, but a twitter story tell. But even better, why don't you just sort them the same way (last item on top), but make the container on load scrolled to the bottom?

I tried to be funny/just the right amount of political. If you don't think I'm funny and/or you think anything in here is unprofessional - i will fight you please tell me but let me down easy :'(

Well, a little bit of humour is fine and even beneficial I would say. But what are you trying to prove to them? That you are super funny, or that you fuckin rock' the code?
