I voted for the resolution before I voted against the resolution. Except I never really voted for the resolution - that’s just a lie.

Look over there! It’s Bigfoot!

“I’m super competent. That’s why you should trust me on everything. Unless I get caught lying or doing something bad, in which case, everyone makes mistakes. I’m only human and deserve your sympathy. I can’t be blamed.”

More of his correspondence bears scrutiny. Time to carefully review his record.

You don’t want to do that with a man who writes Bigfoot fantasy porn.

Liar, liar, big pair of pants on fire!!

“In the letter, Riggleman wrote that while Trump was right to want more money for a border wall, “the Constitution gives the power of the purse” to Congress, “not the President,” and therefore, “I voted to terminate the National Emergency.””

That is no mistake. He actually makes an argument here.

He’s a liar, pure and simple.

His simple mistake is he got caught red-handed.

As long as we can all agree that Bigfoot is real.

It’s not that Riggleman is a complete moron.

Just kidding.

Your ‘instincts’ were good but you bent over and let them have their way nonetheless.

I guess he didn’t realize his vote is in the public record.
Oops!

A not so bold prediction: We will see lots of these “mistakes” as Trump sinks deeper into his swamp.

“I never voted for that guy I voted for!”

If an ineligible person votes in an election, he goes to jail. For a single vote. If a congressman lies to his constituents about how he votes on their behalf IN THE HOUSE he gets… nothing. Basically: my bad, due diligence done, the intern got reprimanded, blah, blah, blah.
The party of ‘‘personal responsibility’’ for you.

It’s actually quite fascinating. Their story is that he had so much trouble figuring out how to vote that they wrote a whole letter explaining that he voted “yes” and why he HAD to vote “yes;” and another one explaining that he voted “no” and why he HAD to vote “no.” And in the end they got confused about which one to send.

That’s called the “steady hand of consummate leadership.”
