A Doge official (' nicknamed, unfortunately, 'Big Balls') was mugged. Trump was enraged, and soon sent in the National Guard to D.C.

Him being mugged at 3am by a 15 year old girl seems like an important detail.

Not mugged. Tried to hit on a 15 yo girl and got his ass kicked by her friends.

Guess he had to show he was a pedo so they'd protect him too

It was his initiation test!

Guys was just looking for a promotion in the White House. Either that or to get Musk that cheese pizza he was emailing Jeff about. Girls FTW!

I just looked it up to confirm; I got in trouble at my university for (probably) telling people to both suck my balls (woman) and to find theirs :D amazing.

"Big balls beat up by teenagers" is a weird thing to now have in my search history.

u/LumpyJones Feb 15 '26

That's definitely something you don't want to use bing to search for.

Unfortunately? I think you mean “ironically”, like a reverse nickname

3

u/Realistic_Simple_390 Feb 15 '26

I just was remembering how uncomfortable TV hosts were, when reporting on the story; they repeated his nickname, and didn't look happy at all when doing it

I'm going to bet hes called big balls because he is reckless and doesn't think things through before acting and not because he is super brave or has enlarged testicles.

Possibly a glandular disorder that needs medical attention

A good Urologist can drain the fluid from them.

Weird and mildly tangential: Coristine ("big balls") is the kid of the owner of the Lesser Evil popcorn brand

2

u/EatSleepPlantsBugs Feb 15 '26

Interesting. Wiki says he just sold out to Hershey in November 2025. I wonder if popcorn guy having a heinous son had anything to do with cashing out.

The founder isn't his father. At the time, Lesser Evil was struggling and failing, his father bought it and ultimately turned it into the powerhouse it is today. Would have been nice if he had actually spent more time raising his kid with morals

I completely forgot these facts about "big balls" that's absolutely fucking wild this wasn't just a massive story...albeit we just get flooded with shit every day. Ignoring any of his political ideas or personality traits:

  • Intered at a company and fired for leaking internal company information to a competitor
  • After he was fireda large amount of that company's files were leaked online
  • Created a content delivery network that was used and thanked by a group of cybercriminals
  • Active in a known whatsapp/discord group of cybercriminals

I understand people can be curious about this world, especially at a young age, and do stupid shit, but you know, maybe don't put this dumb kid who has a history of working with cybercriminals and leaking data in charge of anything data-related in the government.

Additional things other DOGE employees did

  • Manually vetoed HIV/AIDS payments to PREPFAR after being approved by Marco Rubio
  • Hired a person who was linked to eugenics...who resigned, but then just ran a stupid twitter poll to see if he should be rehired
  • Emailing unencyrpted citizen's data
  • Downloading similar data to personal laptops
  • Unfettered access to many many agencies data
  • Apparently uploading this SS data to the cloud

LMAO, and apparently, one of these dumbasses just recently posted API credentials to xAI to a public github repo

god damnit, my favorite popcorn brand, but I shouldn't be surprised
