It seems that all politicians are increasingly deceitful and there are no repercussions. You would think having politicians under oath could be perjured and sent to prison for lying since they work for the people they’re lying to.

Politicians are in fact sworn in. But… political speech is protected speech and as long as they are “on the job” they can say pretty much anything that they want.
There is also different kinds of lying. Political lying or “spin” is not contextually true, but technically true. It leaves out relevant information that would make that truth far more positive (or sometimes negative) than it’s being presented.
Spin is different than straight up, made up bullshit.
Either way, whenever you hear one speak, put a little imaginary asterisk at the end of their words. Trust but verify.
