Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 7hI know Obama has tried to stay as presidential as possible and possibly too much above the nonsensical rhetoric that comes out of Trump, but damn, one time he could just straight up call him on this bullshit. 040

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It didn't do either of those things. The 6,000 people my agency lost during DRP? We've hired virtually all those positions back. So we paid people to go away and once they were gone, we kept our budget and hired more people with the 'savings'. 0171

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is why the next admin, assuming it's a Dem, needs to sanction Trump appointees and the companies they move onto. This is a very easy lever for the gov to pull and these idiots are doing so much in the open. 030
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They should just repeat the N word for three straight minutes, because that's basically the message 000

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That sucks, maybe they should hold the people who did this to them accountable. 0131

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Whether they came from Google or some small startup, the fed government tech stack is orders of magnitude larger than anything they've ever worked out. And the government hires really smart people. 140
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 28/09/2026True, but that wasn't from the technology side of things. Many of the tech bros that came to move fast and break things under the impression that gov tech was outdated, quickly found out that they had no concept of the scale of the fed government. 160
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'd love to see a 3X Wyoming Rule, which would give us about 1500 reps. I'd also like to see federally funded elections. But you're right, they'll never dilute their power. 000
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 26/09/2026ERCOT is going ham on solar and batteries. Will be really funny if Texas ends up one of the greenest energy states by 2030.

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Another to continually impeach every Senate approved member of this administration. Keep them busy on anything else but creating more chaos. 010
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Technically speaking they are doing something, making it worse. 000
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026And it would make the people's House more representative because you wouldn't have one Rep beholden to 1M voters. The original ratio was like 1 per 30,000. 010
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It would make it more difficult to gerrymander, it would mean that control of the house doesn't come down to 20+ swing districts where people like the Koch bros can dump money into just a few races, it likely leads to a viable third party, which would force actual cooperation, 100
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Cause Pelosi didn't want to give up power. They should have done it in '22 for the midterms since we had just completed '20 census. It would make it much less likely that someone could lose the popular vote and when the presidency cause it changes EC math 120

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If it were me and the Dems win House and Senate, no budget until after impeachment hearings are completed. Shut it all down for two years if you have to. 000
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 24/09/2026A lot of Trump's appointees find themselves out of jobs by making him and themselves look foolish on tv. Impeaching them gets them talking, preserves a record, and could get them fired or prosecuted some time in the future. 100

Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Cause if you're loaded with debt, why would you take out cash, why would you hand out oversized salaries? And the sad thing is, it will get worse, before it gets better. 120
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And when the fans get upset, attack them, rather than fix the problem. Then rinse and repeat. At least with the NFL you can luck your way into a generational talent via the draft and have a couple of good years. But the overall mentality is anathema to discipline and planning. 120
Son of Herby @sonofherby.bsky.social · 22/09/2026As a Washington Commanders fan growing up, the similarities between the Glazers and Snyder are horrifying, but you can see the NFL mentality of their approach to United. Use leverage to purchase. Extract as much cash first, then put a middling product on the pitch. 120
