Gavin Kliger, 25, is accused of hounding a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau team to fire 90 percent of their colleagues by Thursday.

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.

    De-nazification was a lie. The East and West German governments were flush with ex-Nazi mid-level bureaucracts by the end of the 1940s, with Nazi officer survivors holding positions as senior as cabinet secretaries and high courts.

    Germany’s post-World War II government was full of Nazis. A new study says that half of all senior officials in Germany’s Justice Ministry in the 1950s and 1960s were former Nazis.

    While US authorities sought justice by putting 16 lawyers and jurists who played a role in the Nazi regime on trial in 1947, Germany tried one lone prosecutor after establishing the West German Federal Republic in 1949.

    Many of those working for the ministry in the post-war years came from backgrounds as lawyers or judges in Nazi Germany, and came to the department to provide legal advice as West Germany rebuilt itself. By coming together and closing ranks, the network of former Nazis not only protected one another from legal prosecution but also bound together to create the nation’s laws.

    Nevermind the NATO commanders with Nazi careers who helped to form the post-war anti-communist movement’s backbone.
