3. I think Matt Gaetz is going to declare himself

the first brain dead imbecile member of Congress, but I'm afraid Louis Gohmert and a few others might beat him to the punch

4. What a dumb ass...

If 45 wants to self-identify as a woman I'm fine with that. It might be the only thing I could give him my support for.

6. Even by ultra-low Repub standards, Gaetz is a dumb-fuck.

He is on occasion entertaining, however---which puts him one step above lower life-form Rep. Louie Gohmert.
