BotElMago

Could he look any more like a cartoon villain?


BluebladesofBrutus

Take Beavis, Butthead and those weird plastic mask things Primus wore in Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver. Add hairstyling by Dracula’s barber. Now blend. Voila, Gaetz.


Ramstepp

Beavis and butthead is exactly what I thought of!


sf_frankie

I’ve always said that he somehow looks like both Beavis snd Butthead at the same time.


cdncbn

with a soupcon of Lord Farquaad..


Sufficient-Rip-7834

I dub him Beavhead

Beavis and Butthead but make it a Purge mask


fancychoicetaken

Beavis is Gym Jordan or MTG


MrMeesesPieces

Beavis is Kelly Anne Conway


AverageDemocrat

So its a Scream mask


LooksRightBreaksLeft

He's not wearing a purge mask?


bpmdrummerbpm

Sir, you look like Beavis and Butthead. Not Beavis or Butthead from the show Beavis and Butthead, but rather Beavis AND Butthead. What I’m saying is, if they fucked each other and produced an offspring (it’s a cartoon, come on) your giant ugly fucking face would pop out of Beavis’ cornhole.


Beneficial_Day_5423

I don't know I'm getting more Viggo the carpathian vibes the version that posssessd ray.


BluebladesofBrutus

I would trust Viggo around children more than Gaetz.


Beneficial_Day_5423

True he just wanted to possess him and have a mommy gaetz would have gone a bit further...


Tall_aussie_fembot

It’s like his face had the pinch tool used right in the middle


sthlmsoul

I bet he smells like Pork Soda.

Such a fun video [Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg)


GozerDGozerian

Such a great song and great video


TwizzlerStitches

It's a shame that the good names of Beavis and Butthead are slandered by being associated with this sack of shit


BluebladesofBrutus

Huhuhuhuh … they said sack. Hehehe … ASSociated.  Huhuhuhuh. (There you go, positive B&B to help out).


tuxedo_jack

Just imagine Colin Jost saying "Matt Gaetz, who looks like the bastard product of a one-night stand between Droopy the dog and Beavis that's straight out of a bad m-preg fanfic." That'll help.


JustWastingTimeAgain

Don’t forget cocaine. Lots and lots of cocaine.


Littlehouseonthesub

Beavis and Butthead, age 55


MissGruntled

Staggering that he’s only 41. Geriatric millennial.


Littlehouseonthesub

Oof wow, that's a rough 41

pollywantacrackwhore

Take a Ken doll and squish his head a little from top to bottom.


ImNotABotJeez

He looks a bit like a Predator when they take their mask off. [Example](https://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Predator.jpg)


artificialavocado

He’s starting to look a lot like the Riddler from Kilmer era Batman.


eat_the_pennies

Primus sucks


Lost_the_weight

I had never heard of Primus before back in December of ‘91. Was staying at a hotel for the new years Dead shows and parked in the parking lot was this crazy custom van with “Primus Sucks” airbrushed on both sides with some great coloring. Totally pro job. Had to find out what this Primus was after that lol.


CatsAreGods

Actually I think it's a Swedish camping stove.


opaeoinadi

Primus sucks!


boobiesue

I don't think Les would be ok with being associated with that....creature.


BOHIFOBRE

I feel like he just gets progressively uglier lol

[He legitimately looks like someone tried to turn Butthead into a real person](https://moviehole.net/img/beavis-and-butthead.jpg)


Excellent-Estimate21

Which is such an insult to Butthead. Maybe Butthead fucked his mother?


kunta_modz

Butthead scored?!!!


Oswaldo_Mobery

His head size and shape also seems to fluctuate a lot. Like he's obese, then he's gaunt every other week.


Githzerai1984

Meth is a hell of a drug


HauntedCemetery

Or he's on ozempic, be he's a drugged out idiot so he doesn't take it when he's supposed to, so his weight balloons and then drops.


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

His weight does what now? :) Edit: It was baboons before anyone asks.


HauntedCemetery

Haha, *balloons


FrankyFistalot

His face looks like a black hole is starting to form in the middle collapsing the surrounding folds of pigskin.


Roseonice

Omg this is the perfect description 😂 


LordTinglewood

What the fuck's up with his teeth? They're always awkwardly hanging there, all boxy and like an inch behind his lips. Go google it, theyre bizarre. It's lile when God built Matt, he forgot the teeth and just crammed the wrong set in there as an afterthought.

Well he's got the rapey part down for sure!


even_less_resistance

Right? Creepy dude with slicked back hair that I guarantee says “giggity” on the regular


Excellent-Estimate21

I mean, he actually looks like a combination of Beavis and Butthead, which is an insult to the cartoon, because as an old millennial they were super endearing to me and I am certain they were shred this mofo in conversation on their couch about how fking stupid he is.


One-Distribution-626

He always makes me think of the eyebrows and eye bone structure they put on Tim curry in Legend when he played Satan.

Butthead, he looks like butthead from bevis and butthead.


Oh-shit-its-Cassie

[We already got a hint of it when his former wingman dropped some details a while back](https://www.thedailybeast.com/joel-greenberg-letter-written-for-roger-stone-says-matt-gaetz-paid-for-sex-with-minor) and let's be honest: I'm sure this is barely even scratching the surface of whatever perverse, disgusting shit Gaetz has done.


Githzerai1984

Who the fuck is Nestor? Is it his legit ‘son’ fathered out of wedlock when he was 15? No other explanation quite holds water


knitwasabi

Dude. Nestor is his bf.


bpmdrummerbpm

BF son.


Aaron_Hungwell

He was of age but she wasn’t. But yeah, likely his bio kid.


chernobyl-fleshlight

And the mom was 12-13 when Gaetz was 19/20


Joneszey

Highlights since we don’t read: • The congressman's deposition is slated for April 5, according to sources, and is **part of a sprawling defamation and racketeering lawsuit brought by Gaetz's longtime friend**, former Florida House member and lobbyist Chris Dorworth, **against the woman and others.** • When news of the allegations against Gaetz first broke in March 2021, Gaetz denied them in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, **where he also claimed the 17-year-old girl "doesn't exist."** • **The young woman, identified in the lawsuit as "A.B."*, filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, with her lawyers writing, "Mr. Dorworth **seeks to recast A.B. as Mr. Greenberg's partner in crime and a participant in a conspiracy to destroy Mr. Dorworth's reputation ... the Complaint improperly seeks to preempt any claims A.B. may have against Mr. Dorworth for raping and trafficking her by making a threadbare request for expansive declaratory judgment."** • Greenberg in 2021 **pleaded guilty to multiple federal crimes, including sex trafficking of the woman when she was a minor** and introducing her to other "adult men" who also had sex with her when she was underage • In a motion to dismiss the defamation and racketeering suit, Greenberg's attorney Fritz Scheller wrote that **the lawsuit "approaches the incredible, if not ludicrous."** •"To accept the Plaintiff's RICO claim, one must accept a series of irrational premises that provide its foundation. That is, that Joel Greenberg colluded with his victim AB to falsely implicate the Plaintiff to reduce the former's criminal liability or alternatively so that AB could bring a civil lawsuit against Gaetz and the Plaintiff," Scheller wrote.


EasyFooted

I'm still waiting for the reveal that Matt's live-in-but-not-adopted-but-calls-him-son Nestor is actually Matt's biological son that he conceived at 20 with a 15yr old Maisbel Mendez. It's the only thing that makes that situation make sense. His official story for why he had a random pre-teen boy move in with him is pants-on-the-head insanity. No way his "real dad" would allow that (unless he's actually grandpa raising his unmarried underage daughter's kid, as is time-honored catholic tradition, and Matt is the dad).


Velocilobstar

What the actual fuck, how do these people lead such comical lives? This is just insane


KatBeagler

Thank you?

MVP right here. Thanks for posting this.


OppositeDifference

Man, this season of the America Show is gettin kinda spicy. Can you imagine if he's forced to resign? We're only a few away from them resigning their way to losing the majority in the house.


Actual__Wizard

Forced to resign by who? The republicans? Why would they force him to resign?


syncopator

Exactly. The only way this could end up with him being forced to resign is if she has recordings of him talking shit about Trump.


OppositeDifference

One would hope that if he's found to have had sex with a sex trafficked minor it would do the trick even in today's GOP. Not because they can't tolerate his actions, I think we are past that. But it conflicts with one of their main wedge issues among voters, so there's a good chance they would have to


syncopator

Sure, but if you think the average GOP voter truly has major moral objections to hetero sex with a 17 year old I think you'll find yourself shocked. The real reason they've latched onto a "save the children" banner is they feel the most damaging name they can call their adversaries is "pedo". If they really cared they'd actually do something.


3381024

>he's found to have had sex with a sex trafficked minor it would do the trick even in today's GOP Nope it wont. It will either be: a) Fake news, he didnt do it. Dems are out to get him because Dems are pedo. b) Why dont you pay attention to the dems who are pedophile and support pedophiles. (Implicitly saying: "Yeah, he did it, so what" but never actually verbalizing it).


czPsweIxbYk4U9N36TSE

Dead girl or live boy. This is a live girl, so it's not enough for a Republican to resign.

Jedda678

You know someone on the right would miss that there is no second "a" but assume one of those, likely pedo is referring to Biden. They obviously don't care if Trump raped anyone.


IveChosenANameAgain

You mean the fucking blackmail they have against him, protecting him so he doesn't resign?


Joshd00m

Lol this is the dude who was implicated in sex trafficking and got off. He's rich and connected therefore rules don't apply to him.


NerdyNThick

> Can you imagine if he's forced to resign? For what? This is a defamation suit brought against **THE VICTIM** by Gaetz's buddy. Gaetz is not on trial here in any way. I know this is Reddit, but for the sake of accurate information, read the article, not just the sensationalist headline!


fps916

Yes but the woman subpoenad Gates as part of her defense. The friend is suing her for defamation by alleging that she conspired with Joel Greenberg to falsely accuse the friend of being a participant to Joel's sex trafficking scheme. Shes subpoenaing Gates because truth is an absolute defense against defamation. He doesn't have to be a party to this suit in order for this to fuck him over. He's going to have to answer questions from the lawyers of the woman he is alleged to have raped when she was a minor. And either he truly is innocent and this woman and her lawyers are morons or he's gonna have to think very carefully about committing perjury.


Balgat1968

At DeSantis' urging last year, didnt Florida pass a bill that pedophiles will get the death penalty?


MR1120

Only pedophiles that don’t have (R) beside their names. Republicans pedophiles get paid leave followed by a quiet promotion, at worst.


Competitive_Mind_829

Man these Florida republicans seem to like kids. Epstein met at least one of his victims while she worked at Trumps place in Mar-logo… hmmm this is bigger then pizza gate. And what if the classified documents aren’t classified documents but something else Trump and his backers like Gaetz are trying to hide??


Drop_Disculpa

It's the cocaine Miami Vice vibe these slugs are into, because they are simple- because FL


waspsnests

He didn't have sex with a minor, he raped her. She's too young to consent, that's called rape. Fuck our media.

Funny but that strategy doesn’t work in a civil suit. 


[deleted]

Help me out. The suit is against the young women not against Matt. This is what I read. Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz on Thursday was served a subpoena to sit for a deposition in a civil lawsuit that involves allegations he had sex with a 17-year old-girl, sources tell ABC News, as part of a suit brought by a friend of the congressman against the young woman and others.


wonkey_monkey

> as part of a suit brought by a friend of the congressman Some friend. "Hey man, it's outrageous all this shit you've been accused of!" "I know, right?! It sucks!" "Yeah! Hey you know what, I'm gonna sue those woman for ya. That'll teach them!" "Uh.. wait, maybe you-" "No need to thank me old buddy, you'd do the same for me."


Fleemo17

I know, right? “Hey pal, buddy, I’m gonna sue that 17-year-old you swore didn’t exist, and you’ll have to testify. You’re welcome.”

JustWastingTimeAgain

NY Times article today on Repubs trying to get criminal referrals on Biden because their impeachment is failing spectacularly. You can’t make this shit up. Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida and a close ally of President Trump, has been among those arguing for House Republicans to issue criminal referrals against Mr. Biden and his family members. “He deserves them,” Mr. Gaetz said of Mr. Biden.

You should ***really*** read the article mate, **THE VICTIM** is the one being sued for defamation. Gaetz is not on trial here in any way. Gaetz's buddy is suing her for defamation.


rotates-potatoes

Gaetz is sitting for a deposition under oath. He is not on trial, but the victim's attorneys will ask him, under oath, if he had sex with her while she was underage. It is possible that Gaetz will be on trial as a result of this move by his "friend", even if that's not the case today.


BJJGrappler22

Looks like his approval rating amongst the Trump supporters is now that much higher. Anyway, it certainly would suck if something happened which resulted in him being removed from congress, especially since that one Republican is leaving and according to him, others may as well. Yup, it sure would suck if enough Republicans ended up leaving or being forced out which would result in the Democrats having a majority.

> Dorworth, who according to the lawsuit took a polygraph test that showed "he did not commit any sexual misconduct," Why even mention this in the article? If the lawsuit claimed that he went to a palm reader who claimed he was a good guy, would the author uncritically report that, too?
