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.
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.
I doubt there would be any witnesses, even if it happened in a roomful of people.
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
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?
Put that kid in time out
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’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
Another fucking neo-Nazi loser. Firing people and boosting white supremacists, fuck him.
Naah im good on fucking him. Aint my type
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.
A 25- year old nothing has no idea what a livelihood is. He’s never had to do the shit a real man or woman has to do to provide.
Daddy’s boy needs to learn his place. Stay in your lane rich boy and shut up.
Dude isn’t an edgelord because edgelords play around on the line. This kid is a fascist
but it’s not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?
Wait, he did WHAT at work?! That’s really inappropriate!

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.
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 og Nazis were also big fans of amphetamines actually
I’m 100% for anyone working for or appointed by the government being routinely drug tested.
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
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.
“And dismembered himself”
A good throat punch or 10 would be much better
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.
