Argumentum ad Fastidium

In the one hundred and twenty third episode we explore the Argumentum ad Fastidium, or Argument from Disgust, starting with Trump dismissing kobe beef, railing against violent movies, and objecting to being asked about racism. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Angela Rayner being disgusted by Dominic Raab's behavior and then defending attack ads which others found disgusting, and Jacob Rees Mogg showing he's a man of the people by turning his nose up at baked beans. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and The Imitation Game. Jim and Mark go head to head in a special edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which three of nine Trump NFTs are actually ones Jim made. Then we talk about the Fox News/Dominion settlement and Tucker Carlson getting fired. 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.)
