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.

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.

Good way for that young asshole to get his jaw broken

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Then the jaw breaker might get his citizenship revoked and be sent to CECOT or Gitmo. Might be worth it, though.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

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."

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

"We told him to lie still, and wait for the ambulance, but he kept coming back up!"

We could only be so lucky.

but it's not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?

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.

Enemy of the people

That's a grin I'd like to punch off his face. Nazi scum.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] primemagnus@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Well now that’s a spankin’

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I really hope “what goes around comes around” bites this little cunt real hard

[–] Generic_Idiot@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

I hope he breaks multiple bones and tears multiple tendons/ligaments
