That way politicians would change every week. Probably not a bad thing :)

"absolute truth" doesn't exist. I understand what you're saying, but the question of when a lie should then disqualify you from office must itself be a political question.

Absolute truth exists, and a claim that it doesn't is self-contradictory. The difficulty is in determining what is or isn't true, especially for empirical matters. (In math and logic the difficulty can vary. And some statements are true by definition, e.g., all unmarried men are bachelors.)

You're confusing logical/mathematic "truth" with philosophical/scientific "truth". While "politics should be based on scientific truth" is an opinion I have some sympathy for, even if it immediately falls apart under any scrutiny. "politics should be based on mathematical axiomatic truth" is a statement so laughable I can only imagine you forgot the context we were talking about.

P.S. I'm not confusing anything and not forgetting any context, and then I get slammed with an absurd strawman, "politics should be based on mathematical axiomatic truth"--not remotely anything I said. Gawd but some people are rude.

The fact remains that absolute truth exists ... "delusional" seems to have no idea what the word "truth" even means.

lol. just last week he posted that the Canadian ad showing the audio recording of nixon against tariffs was fake.

Reagan, not Nixon

So someone gets to arbitrarily decide what is or isn’t true, and thus arbitrarily remove anyone from any office for life?

Sounds like a foolproof plan.

Did we not read 1984?

That's how it works right now. Besides Trump, the US's last presidental impeachment was over a sex scandal. They "say" it was because he lied about it, but I think we know better at this point. It's just really hard to impeach because you need 66 or 67 of the Senate to agree on something, not the usual 51.

But yes, we'd need some truly neutral Ombudsmen to back up such a system. And they themselves would need to be accountable should they corrupt. I don't think it's impossible, but hard to do with the current power structures.

Cheating on your wife isn’t a crime.

Perjury is.

Yeah, use loopholes to get what you want. This year has taught me that well.
