Ad Hominem Circumstantial

In the forty-second episode we explore the Ad Hominem Circumstantial fallacy, starting with Trump tweeting about John Bolton's book and lying about Democrats wanting the wall. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris Johnson being confronted in a hospital and David Cameron lying about getting a letter from Ed Milliband In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Ali G and Futurama. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we break down the Senate Impeachment trial so far. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

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.)
