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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Put him on ski patrol duty with the patrol’s entire supply of the stuff and see how far he gets behind enemy lines.
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.
I would have beaten him with a fucking keyboard.
You’re getting fired anyway, might as well reenact this scene with enthusiasm.
Wanted (2008)
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.
I’d love to read a feel-good article about this man’s suicide.
