1. Good. I'll never see him there.

[Nevilledog]

2. My first reaction to this is he's trying to get ahead of something bad coming his way.

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Resign or be indicted?

Could be a lot of these coming.

[sop]

10. I thought the same thing.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I wonder if it has anything to do with his "son".

[obamanut2012]

24. I thought the same!

[Nevilledog]

34. We were right!

35. Congratulations On Being 1,000% Correct! nt

[Nevilledog]

36. Wow....I'm usually only 100% right. This is quite an achievement.

[multigraincracker]

3. He needs to hurry up before

they are put out of business by law suits.

[we can do it]

4. Buh bye

[Paladin]

5. Wow---Gaetz considering doing something CORRECT?

First time for everything...

[Tommy Carcetti]

7. See ya.

One less shitty politician screwing up my otherwise lovely state.

[gratuitous]

8. If he needs some extra scratch

He can always rent out that massive forehead as a helipad. Not like Gaetz uses his head for anything else.

[Nevilledog]

18. Have I got a Twitter account for you....

28. Uh oh. He's the Marvel comics supervillain, The Leader. Hope Hulk smashes him soon. n/t

9. He always looks so BIZARRE in every single photo I've seen of him...

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.

32. Always Looks In A Rage, Too

I've even seen pictures of him smiling that still looked like the lid was coming off the id.

[NurseJackie]

33. Yes!! Great observation! He certainly does look like he's in a rage!

Perfect description!

[lagomorph777]

11. That's a good idea.

Then we need to get George Soros to buy Newsmin, Fux, etc, and fire everybody.

29. Ted Lieu trying to help out

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.

30. With an endorsement from Ted Lieu, how can Newsmax resist?

[Hortensis]

12. Retirement?! The pig. He entered in 2017, and in 2019 (!) they

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.

[magicarpet]

13. Hang on extreme nut job right wing media,...

... here comes the next Rush Limballs.

[RAB910]

14. Gaetz is trying to figure out if he can do more harm to America in Congress or on Newsmax

[Grokenstein]

16. It's either that, or biting chicken's heads off at the circus.

[FSogol]

27. LOL. n.t

[hlthe2b]

17. Let him resign, accept the job, and then let Dominion extend its lawsuits to NewsMax & bankrupt them

(I can dream, can't I?)

[Thomas Hurt]

19. He should rent out his forehead as ad space.

[dalton99a]

20. Dutiful father wants to take care of his son

[IcyPeas]

21. He wants to be a celebrity. He loves the camera .

[marble falls]

22. I hope he does it. But I think he has a potential star-turn in the WWE as the evil "Qongressman Q"

[Renew Deal]

23. I guess he thinks it's better to be an unaccountable fringe extremist working from the outside

[DFW]

25. I can guess at what's behind this consideration....

[Progressive Jones]

26. Go for it, Gaetz. You're only welcome by losers. nt

[Norbert]

31. That means I'll never see him again.

That breaks my heart.
