Passing the Buck - FT#157

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.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft157 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Om Podcasten

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.
