Summary
Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old DOGE goon, allegedly screamed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees during a 36-hour shift to expedite layoffs of 90% of staff.
A court paused the firings, citing violations of an earlier order requiring individual assessments before terminations. Kliger told staffers to ignore the court-ordered individual-by-individual assessment requirement.
Kliger is a 25-year-old “internet edgelord” who claims to have ditched seven figures in Silicon Valley to work at DOGE. He is a 2020 Berkeley graduate and “has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online,” Reuters reported.
Kliger has already overseen 1,500–1,700 layoffs. Only three senior staff remain, raising concerns about CFPB’s ability to fulfill legal duties.
the word goon has been ruined, my mind conflated ‘goon’ with ‘gooner’ and I can’t salvage it
I mean
36 hour goon shift
¿Por que no los dos?
I’m honestly shocked no one has Rochambeaued this narcissistic jackass.
Rochambeaued
Hah exactly!
*wikipedia’s that term, finds some French general, nothing significant about his death*
Yeah, good reference!
but it’s not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?
It’s only a matter of time before someone gets sick of this shit, beats the crap out of him, and throws him in a dumpster.
I see no problem here.
If I’m being forced to layoff 90% of my department, and this goon starts screaming after 36 straight hours, and a court order to cease, I’m going to punch him in the face, mid-scream, as hard as I can, probably multiple times. And I’ll bet he couldn’t find a single witness.
“He fell down.” -Everyone else present
I’m going to punch him in the face, mid-scream, as hard as I can, probably multiple times.
I mean, I certainly get the sentiment. But these are the same people with a gestapo that’s dragging people off by their hair, throwing them into cargo planes, and shoveling them into an El Salvadorian concentration camp.
What’s frustrating is to see the last 10% not following the first 90% off the job in solidarity. Americans who are willing to work 36 hour shifts aren’t doing their peers or their countrymen any favors, even if they do work for the CFPB. That department cannot fulfill its purpose under the current management and you’re foolish if you continue to perpetuate the hoax that it is functional.
I will fight every second of it.
Must have been screaming too hard and got dizzy…
That’s what happens when you’ve been on a Pervitin bender.
Put him on ski patrol duty with the patrol’s entire supply of the stuff and see how far he gets behind enemy lines.
I got you boo. I’ll help pay for your lawyer.
No need for a lawyer. I preemptively saw (see?) that the goon walked into a door.
Poor guy bounced off, rolled down six flights of stairs (“But it’s only a 3-story building!”) and landed in a running woodchipper.
Weird thing is that the woodchipper mulch went straight into the ground and got cemented over. If only we had known
Yeah, if only we [ Removed by Reddit ]
tsk… this young and he already has high blood pressure. i dunno bro.
Put that kid in time out
36-hour shift
Our government is being dismantled by children on fucking amphetamines.
I’m usually against it for office jobs, but let’s drug test these idiots.
What am I saying, if they don’t already have an rx, I’m sure Elon could easily facilitate it.
Yeah. No sane adult wants to work 36-hours. This is just pure insanity. I wouldn’t ever work a shift like that. Basically only if the world was literally ending—we are literally being invaded right now. Otherwise, we can handle it on Monday.
The Trump White House was a pill factory last time (there’s public records). So, it’s probably even more ramped up now.
Don’t you love that they are trying to keep highly qualified disabled ADHD people like me out of the work force but at the same time abuse the medicine we need? Fucking pricks.
I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just straight cocaine. 36-hours is beyond. Feels way more cocaine driven— especially the anger/irritability.
He speaks like someone who has never been smacked in the fucking mouth. That’s ok we have the remedy.
I can really only do several hours of real actual cognitive work a day.
After 6 hours the likelihood that i’ll make a mistake or waste hours of time increases dramatically.
The previous Trump admin pharmqcy broke records for how much drugs were being dispensed. So probably breaking that record again.
Have you tried buying Adderall, or any prescription amphetamine, legit from a pharmacy?
Elon may be able to facilitate it, but I doubt even he could effectuate it.
have you tried buying them not from a pharmacy? it’s easy af and not even expensive… the wealthiest man in the world, or even mr “gave up 7 figures in silicon valley” can get whatever they like
He’s the wealthiest man in the world, he can have anything he wants. He could simply buy a pharmaceutical factory, if he wanted it bad enough.
I don’t think it’s all just drugs doing it and I don’t want to shift the blame off of him. I think him and the whole administration are just b̲a̲d̲ people, who may be augmented by illicitly obtained substances.
absolutely bad people… it’s the 36hr that makes amphetamines kinda obvious
I suspect the goal is to ensure all these services and institutions fail so that tRump can assign his buddies to privatize them for profit and skimming. If you thought health and home owner insurance companies were corrupt, wait until you apply for social security or medicare and have it declined by a baby tRump or MAGAt Republican.
Well, anytime someone says “small government” what they really mean is outsourcing.
While I’m sure there will be a lot of that, I don’t think that is “the plan”.
Trump campaigned by saying he would be mean to immigrants, cut government services, and implement tariffs.
He got elected, so he’s doing those three things.
Additionally, for all intents and purposes he’s the king of the US, so he can do these things in such a way as to maximise offence to the left because he finds it gratifying how powerless we are to prevent him.
In short, there is no plan other than gratifying Trump each day.
Doge just keeps lining up more and more future lawsuit payouts that the government will have to pay when the next president takes office. Every penny saved will cost thousands in lawyers fees and payouts. If not tens or hundreds of thousands.
If I were a career federal employee with decades on the job, and some snot nosed discount Nazi baby comes into my workplace and does this shit, I don’t care what happens, I’m beating the little shit to within an inch of his miserable life.
Just keep calling him bud, dude, kid, et. until he snaps and you can “be in reasonable fear of receiving a battery”
I mean, I’m not sure why you’re assuming you’d be in the 10% they kept around and not the 90% they kicked out at even the faintest hint of obstinance. The only people left are the ones they considered easy to bully.
Sorry, you gotta speak up bud, you talk too quiet.
Ask if he needs a nap, a juice box, a snack or if his tummy hurts and if that is why he is so cranky. Also call him champ and slugger.
“Calm down”
So he gave up 7 figures to work 36 hour shifts as a government employee? Dude is definitely not fucking smart
He was offered a role where he could openly express his hatred and narcissism in the form of unlimited cruelty to other humans. I suspect he would have done it for free.
No - he’s forcing others to work 36 hour shifts then yelling at them for not being fast enough.
Plus, he’s young enough that if nobody kills him, he’ll definitely have to answer for his actions at the American version of the Nuremberg Trials.
De-nazification was a lie. The East and West German governments were flush with ex-Nazi mid-level bureaucracts by the end of the 1940s, with Nazi officer survivors holding positions as senior as cabinet secretaries and high courts.
While US authorities sought justice by putting 16 lawyers and jurists who played a role in the Nazi regime on trial in 1947, Germany tried one lone prosecutor after establishing the West German Federal Republic in 1949.
Many of those working for the ministry in the post-war years came from backgrounds as lawyers or judges in Nazi Germany, and came to the department to provide legal advice as West Germany rebuilt itself. By coming together and closing ranks, the network of former Nazis not only protected one another from legal prosecution but also bound together to create the nation’s laws.
Nevermind the NATO commanders with Nazi careers who helped to form the post-war anti-communist movement’s backbone.
or he’s getting in at the ground floor of the ‘new’ nazi government
He’s gotta
build upburn his resume
I’d love to read a feel-good article about this man’s suicide.
Can’t happen soon enough.
I would have beaten him with a fucking keyboard.
You’re getting fired anyway, might as well reenact this scene with enthusiasm.
Keyboards too nice. You need to mash his Nazi face in with a stapler.
I had to see this and now you do too. You’re welcome.
With it open so you can leave little staple-stikas across his face. (Need good aim or just to beat him senseless first…)
If you’re going to get a free ticket to El Salvador, you may as well go make sure it’s his final beating.
Take that Chris Pratt.
Which movie is this?
Wanted (2008)
Good way for that young asshole to get his jaw broken
Then the jaw breaker might get his citizenship revoked and be sent to CECOT or Gitmo. Might be worth it, though.
Better make sure his jar is broken through the back of his head so that it was worth it then. A death sentence is a death sentence, and it would be a shame if simple assault was the highest crime.
“He tripped and fell down 35 flights of stairs. It was a tragedy.” “The building is only 12 stories tall.” “Yeah, he had to be carried back up a couple of times.”
“We told him to lie still, and wait for the ambulance, but he kept coming back up!”
We could only be so lucky.
Oh no wonder these brats are acting like this… you give a 25-year-old seven figures and… there you go. It’s like giving a five-year-old fucking sugar. Smack the goddamn out of him and send to his room with no supper.
