(42,862 posts)He always looks so BIZARRE in every single photo I've seen of him. His facial features are distorted and disproportionate in every way. The corners of his mouth turn down and even his smile always looks like it's "upside down". His forehead is too high, his nose-eyes-mouth are too close together, his head is too big (compared to his shoulder width).
When he was spawned, he got the WORST traits from his birth parents.

Dear @newsmax: Rep. Matt Gaetz would be great for your network. You should do everything you can to hire him away from Congress. Thank you.

(58,785 posts)voted to institute a congressional pension system that becomes vested for those who participate after only 5 years in office. To become fully vested requires more, but as it is the 39-year-old bastard's going to be sponging on the taxpayers for life. Well, they've given themselves this much incentive to leave, so maybe more will take it.
