the word goon has been ruined, my mind conflated 'goon' with 'gooner' and I can't salvage it

36 hour goon shift
¿Por que no los dos?
I'm honestly shocked no one has Rochambeaued this narcissistic jackass.
but it's not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?
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.
Put that kid in time out
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.
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 ]

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.
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.
The previous Trump admin pharmqcy broke records for how much drugs were being dispensed. So probably breaking that record again.

Doge just keeps lining up more and more future lawsuit payouts that the government will have to pay when the next president takes office. Every penny saved will cost thousands in lawyers fees and payouts. If not tens or hundreds of thousands.
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"
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.
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.

So he gave up 7 figures to work 36 hour shifts as a government employee? Dude is definitely not fucking smart
No - he's forcing others to work 36 hour shifts then yelling at them for not being fast enough.
Plus, he’s young enough that if nobody kills him, he’ll definitely have to answer for his actions at the American version of the Nuremberg Trials.
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.
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.

I'd love to read a feel-good article about this man's suicide.
Can't happen soon enough.
I would have beaten him with a fucking keyboard.
You're getting fired anyway, might as well reenact this scene with enthusiasm.
Keyboards too nice. You need to mash his Nazi face in with a stapler.
I had to see this and now you do too. You're welcome.

Well now that’s a spankin’
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.
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.
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.
Normally I'd joke about how "We know where they sleep" but this goon doesn't seem to do much of that. I still hope someone beats the shit out of him, and the rest of the conservatives.
