Argument to Moderation

In the one hundred and fourteenth episode we explore the Argument to Moderation Fallacy, starting with Trump losing a negotiation to buy a 727 and refusing to compromise on border security, no matter what Ted Cruz claims. Then we talked about Elon Musk's theory that he's being fair because he's annoyed everybody.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak compromising on windfall taxes on oil companies (kind of) and Mick Lynch pointing out the futility of trying to meet the UK Government in the middle on workers' pay.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Lost in Space, the Big Bang Theory, and South Park.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which this week, since it's Christmas, Mark has to guess which one of three tweets by Nick Adams (Alpha Male) was actually made up by Jim

Then we talk about Jack Smith, the special prosecutor assigned to investigate Trump.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Subscribe 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.)
