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.
tsk… this young and he already has high blood pressure. i dunno bro.
“And dismembered himself”
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 ]
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.
A good throat punch or 10 would be much better
I would have beaten him with a fucking keyboard.
You’re getting fired anyway, might as well reenact this scene with enthusiasm.
If you’re going to get a free ticket to El Salvador, you may as well go make sure it’s his final beating.
Keyboards too nice. You need to mash his Nazi face in with a stapler.
With it open so you can leave little staple-stikas across his face. (Need good aim or just to beat him senseless first…)
I had to see this and now you do too. You’re welcome.
Take that Chris Pratt.
Which movie is this?
Wanted (2008)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Modafinil
Ask any doctor; if you’ve been awake for more than 24 hours straight you’re mentally impaired.
How long have you been up?

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.
That’s a grin I’d like to punch off his face. Nazi scum.
Wait, he did WHAT at work?! That’s really inappropriate!
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”
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”
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.
Another fucking neo-Nazi loser. Firing people and boosting white supremacists, fuck him.
Naah im good on fucking him. Aint my type
Put that kid in time out
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.

You also saw the late-January Redditor spreadsheet listing his personal cell phone number, parents’ home address, and his personal email address? I can’t believe that dude was dumb enough to leave all that information casually lying around on the world wide web for just anyone to find through public search channels.
