I deleted this app from both my phone & tablet over a year ago. Just checking in once in a while but from what I see in my feed and in the explore tab, there is not much point in me sticking around.

@jacobhalton Amazing! On my way to find YouTube clips of these bad boys.

1. Quick thread on the only recorded criminal arrest of a sitting U.S. president—made by a D.C. Police offering for speeding, a century and a half ago. https://t.co/mUiN1VZ29P

@alissagrosso @kennedytcooper The infuriating thing about that is that by picking up the baseball bat and intervening she’s now exposed herself to a legal liability.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@Tonymation That’s amazing. Movie magic!!

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

Fffffff okay so I knew that we’d get to this part before the end of the movie but I made my Dad cry by watching this movie with him. Pearl Harbor scenes got to him. And the best I can say to him is that know what it means but also respect him enough to finish watching the movie.

About a year ago my film club had a theme of “Wet Sex”and I was thinking of “From Here to Eternity” because of its famous beach scene buy had never seen it before. I’m finally getting around to seeing it right now with my Dad and uh it’s fucking great.

I’m still only two thirds of the way through this picture, btw. Stellar cast. Probably the best acting I’ve seen from Frank Sinatra so far.

@PJEvans66030270 @RealBetyCardens @whereishayley Meeting up with Buckaroo Banzai while wearing a cowboy outfit.

@LouWhiteboy @ndrew_lawrence Haven’t seen the movie yet but yeah I read the book and thought omg they actually did the Airborne Toxic Event. Which was based on an even worse industrial disaster: Bhopal.

@brad_style Thanks Brad!

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@OneCoolOwl I think you might want ask @heyjohnrussell or @MorePerfectUS for that update. I am just retweeting here. I’m not a reporter and I’m not local to East Palestine or even Ohio.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

Refused to address literally anything that might be critical of the company that gave him money, but also created a huge environmental disaster in his district. Politician pretending to be above politics when it’s directly affected his constituents.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The Congressman who represents East Palestine, OH, took $18,000 from Norfolk Southern.

@heyjohnrussell asked him about it — and whether he'd take money from them again.

Rep. Bill Johnson refused to answer.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@PhilippusArabus @MorePerfectUS @heyjohnrussell He didn’t answer the fucking question. He threw a snit and deflected.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@PhilippusArabus @MorePerfectUS @heyjohnrussell Yes. Because these are not the only conduits that money is funneled through. Combined with personal contributions from execs, board members and shareholders, fundraiser events, any undocumented gifts and favors, yes I absolutely believe influence can be purchased.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@PhilippusArabus @MorePerfectUS @heyjohnrussell ***correction: Last election cycle 2022, Johnson got nothing from NS PAC, in 2020 they gave him $3500. The rest should be correct but take a look at the Open Secrets link if you want to check for yourself.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@PhilippusArabus @MorePerfectUS @heyjohnrussell What’s infuriating is that this lack of critique for the company is bought so cheaply. In the last election cycle they only gave him $3500, in 2018 nothing at all, in 2016 $2500, in 2014 $5000, in 2012 $5000, in 2010 $2500, earlier than than I stopped checking.

[Aaron Lampell @aaronfromqueens]

@PhilippusArabus @MorePerfectUS @heyjohnrussell I’m failing to see what your criticism of the video actually is? Executives & consultants gets bonuses. Shareholders get dividends. The money flows from corp to PAC to politician.
