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 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”
Enemy of the people
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
This cunt should no longer be able to walk the streets.
Or anywhere.
I’m OK if he walks the streets in, say, Yemen
This cunt should no longer be able to walk
the streetsFTFY
I hope he breaks multiple bones and tears multiple tendons/ligaments
36 hours of goon? No wonder he was screaming, I bet his dick looks like a pistol grip.
Good way for that young asshole to get his jaw broken
We could only be so lucky.
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!”
That’s a grin I’d like to punch off his face. Nazi scum.
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.
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
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.
Basically only if the world was literally ending—we are literally being invaded right now.
Don’t keep working if this happens, go the fuck home right away. If the world is ending your job doesn’t matter anymore, your safety is more important. This system doesn’t give a single fuck about you, and never has, you don’t owe it your undying loyalty.
I love you. You know what. You are totally right
The previous Trump admin pharmqcy broke records for how much drugs were being dispensed. So probably breaking that record again.
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.
Ask any doctor; if you’ve been awake for more than 24 hours straight you’re mentally impaired.
How long have you been up?

Cause that’s a great way to motivate me and get me to do what you want, just scream at me. That shows me you have power and authority…oh, no, wait, that just shows how much of a huge man baby you are and how much pleasure I’ll have telling you to fuck off right to your face.
I really hope “what goes around comes around” bites this little cunt real hard
That’s when it’s time to pop the AirPods Pros in and noise cancel him. You want me to quit because you’re having a tantrum to expedite me leaving? I’m older, wiser, and will just double down on staying.
Neat watching lemmy pretend to care about workers at all.
See ypu in the next minimum wage thread where your worth as a person is determined by your age and location.
Lemmy.world will act like they care about workers, but as soon as workers want any meaningful change, they’ll argue “the political leaders’ hands are tied, they try everything they could!”
Meanwhile Trump gets whatever he wants without issue. I wonder why Democrats are powerless to help people but Trump can damage entire systems…

Sinema’s thumbs down remains democrats’ last word on minimum wage. Her hands were free.
If I had a nickel for the times Democrats could have done something more useful but crumped and abandoned because of Republicans being dickheads, I’d have enough to lobby one.
Did somebody say “DOGOON”?
