Fallacious Trump

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-ninth episode, we explore the Sanctimony Fallacy, starting with Trump calling Democrats immoral for their stance on abortion, and claiming he did the right thing regarding Roe v Wade.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch justifying the kidnapping of Maduro, the morality of Zack Polanksi's former profession as a hypnotist, and David Cameron hypocritically attacking Jimmy Carr's offshore tax affairs.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Witness, The Big Bang Theory, and Ted 2.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minnesota.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft189 You can contact the guys at [email protected], on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy New Year! We're currently watching Airplane vs Volcano, a terrible Dean Cain movie, and breaking it down for our Patrons in great detail. In the spirit of the season, we thought it should be shared with more of you, so here's the second part of our breakdown, just in case you're interested. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe.There's a LOT to hate about this film, so there's plenty more on our Patreon at patreon.com/ftrump if you just can't get enough... We're sorry.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-eighth episode, we explore the Argumentum Ad Feminam, starting with a montage of Trump attacking women.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Diane Abbott reporting on the daily abuse she gets over social media, Harriet Harman on why she didn't get appointed Deputy PM, and why women like her threaten misogynists, and Kemi Badenoch attacking women who complain about being attacked.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Star Wars, Anchorman, and Cheers.Jim and Mark go head to head in a special Christmas edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which absurdly sycophantic remarks were made up by Jim and which were lavished on Trump by his acolytes.Then we talk about the heavily redacted and incomplete Epstein files.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft188 You can contact the guys at [email protected], on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpAnd you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-seventh episode, we explore the Square One Fallacy, starting with RFK Jr demanding vaccines be tested before they are used, and Trump suggesting some kind of film and video game ratings system.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch lamenting (for all the wrong reasons) the rebooted version of research into puberty blockers, Nigel Farage demanding a whole new kind of Brexit guaranteed (this time) to give us sovereignty, and the push for another inquiry into grooming gangs.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out real world examples about gender affirming care, cannabis legalization, and tobacco regulation.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then Jim talks about his recent very deep dive into the world of media effects research with regard to violent video games.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft187Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy. Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.)You can contact the guys at [email protected], on BlueSky @FallaciousTrump, Discord at fallacioustrump.com/discord, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpYou can support us at Patreon.com/ftrump, and you can buy our T-shirts here: https://fallacioustrump.com/teeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
