If his mouth was moving, probably not.

If he was speking in the Welsh dialect he could have been saying anything.

Never ask for directions in Wales. You'd be washing spittle out of your hair for ages.

Simple question.

Who's truth?

Because at this moment, AMERICA cannot agree on what the "truth" is. So basically, there is really no truth, just what people are willing to believe. Facts don't change. But people seem to be able to see the very same facts in very opposing ways. And when this happens, the truth means nothing.

That IS the TRUTH.

no, we all know what the Truth is. Some just see things (D)ifferently.

Well let’s use an unelected official in place of a politician and see what sticks.

I’ll go with (closes eyes and throws a dart) Mayorkas. Not a politician sure, but an appointed cabinet member for the current US administration.

When he says the border is NOT open. Is he lying?

And if you need a pee, never ask is there anywhere to have a leek.

hubris is one of the diseases of our time. politicians are people like you and me, they do the same as you and me, but since they often are at the center of power, they are more vulnerable than others. anyway, most of them are hard-working folks who are trying to make a difference. we who live in democratic countries can decide for ourselves where the journey goes, this fixation on politicians is ultimately nothing more than projection i think.

I say it will be politicized and weaponized by the globalist/authoritarian agenda to silence anyone speaking out against their agenda to bring in their authoritarian regime where:

"You own nothing and are happy" because you will be punished if you protest.

*Checks notes

The Covid years and those that directed our actions, the ones at “the center of power”, had a field day wielding that same power with invulnerability.

So yeah. I beg to differ.

“Projection”. Lmao.

Edit: hubris indeed…

I'm 100yds from the Welsh Assembly Building.
Might tap the door and ask

Zero hope however.

Omg fella,you must've seen how drunk with power the Sennedd members were, with covid lockdows and the devolved health powers! I wouldn't trust a single one of them about truth...it's only ever about their 'authorised' truth, and complying with 'their' officialdom group-think!!!😱

I had to attend my brother's funerals in that crazy 2020/21 period, NEVER been so glad to cross the Severn bridge back to England - The rules, threats of fixed penalties, police arrest, interactions with prick power drunk officials, I didn't realize how dystopian things could go, until the assembly government was given emergency law making powers!😱

...good to see you posting fella👍 I've been reincarnated a few times lol, but I'm someone you introduced to Noah's Ark kids hospital years ago ( noahsarkcharity.org... )
I'm still donating, and I hope all is well with you and yours😊🏖️🌞

Yeah,that's the ticket.

I think public whippings with a short horse whip would be very effective at giving honesty in government back to the people they represent in such a poor way today. Who would even dare lie when they had already seen several of their political colleagues whipped on camera until they cried and admitted publicly they lied, gave names of those ordering them to lie under threat of blackmail or whatever gives power to the darkness they find themselves in.

The light of truth would soon expose everything and the cleanup of the swamp would begin.

Oh, and anyone defending liars would also be given a few lashes. That'll Teach ya!

make it punishable by death and you might have something there. ...

Worse...make it punishable by removal from office and prohibition from seeking future elected / appointed government positions. That'll REALLY get their attention!

Putting a person with no soul to death doesn't really accomplish anything; it's like a net-zero game. Making them actually 'work' for a living for the balance of their lives is the most fearful thing any of these political douche-muffins could ever contemplate!

Nice. Can we disallow their parliamentary pension as well and perhaps (In Australia at least) disallow them voting themselves a pay rise twice a year?

Dbl

If politicians had to stop lying and speak the truth, i can imagine people having a hard time believing them anyway.!

"so mr. politician, you are claiming that the budget money was not overspent and instead went into peoples back pockets??"

There'll be a lot of 'bending' the truth lets say,

Is there a go-fund-me page? I'll donate. A lot!

Politicians not allowed to lie? How Un-American.

I can't even comprehend politicians not telling lies in America...Even when I was young everyone used to talk about fake campaign promises and lies by politicians.

No other countries will adopt that kind of law, they may even boycot Wales if that law passes.

I am guessing that even in heaven politicians are allowed to lie. If any actually get there.

The only way a politician would stop lying, is if they pulled out their vocal chords and cut all their fingers off.
