Passing the Buck

In the one hundred and fifty-seventh episode we explore Passing the Buck, starting with Trump blaming Democrats, the Obama administration, a random conspiracy theorist, and mainstream media for his failures.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Liz Truss blaming everyone else for her economy, and Boris blaming everyone else for his parties during COVID.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Disclosure, The Last King of Scotland, and Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

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 the Harris/Trump debate on his own, because Mark was busy.

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.)
