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.
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 ]
“And dismembered himself”
tsk… this young and he already has high blood pressure. i dunno bro.
A good throat punch or 10 would be much better
He should go back to his 7 figure job and marry his Canadian girlfriend.
Problem is not this idiot, the problem is who enabled him
Porque no los dos?
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.
Which movie is this?
Wanted (2008)
Take that Chris Pratt.
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.
the word goon has been ruined, my mind conflated ‘goon’ with ‘gooner’ and I can’t salvage it
36 hour goon shift
I am gooooning
I mean
You are making it worse, you know
¿Por que no los dos?
First time I heard that word. I looked it up on urban dictionary, but I’m still not sure:
- One who is completely and miserably addicted to porn but embraces and loves it.
or
2: a supporter of the London based football team, Arsenal FC
Another fucking neo-Nazi loser. Firing people and boosting white supremacists, fuck him.
Wait… Reuters called this dude an “edgelord”?
I never thought I could like them more, but here we are.
I think they’re quoting the linked Forbes article not the linked Reuters one. I searched for “edgelord” between the two
I’d love to read a feel-good article about this man’s suicide.
So he gave up 7 figures to work 36 hour shifts as a government employee? Dude is definitely not fucking smart
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.
No - he’s forcing others to work 36 hour shifts then yelling at them for not being fast enough.
or he’s getting in at the ground floor of the ‘new’ nazi government
He’s gotta
build upburn his resume
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.
He never got seven figures. He claimed he would have made that in silicon valley had he not joined doge. Based on his behavior I doubt that
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.
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.
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!SouthPark reference for those out of the loop, not the poster above though, he knows what’s up.
Ah cheers, found it - game where people kick each other in the groin
Put that kid in time out
Ask any doctor; if you’ve been awake for more than 24 hours straight you’re mentally impaired. That’s without any drugs, just pure biology.
I don’t have access to blood tests, but I’d bet serious money that he was using some sort of medication.
with the help adderall, meth, cocaine, you can stay up that long.
