Political Language and Communication Quirks

In the one-hundred-and-seventy-third episode, we explore Hypophora, starting with Trump showing his lack of foreign policy chops with regard to both Iran and Iraq, and then Donald Jr. minimizing COVID deaths.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kier Starmer accurately describing Boris Johnson, Boris Johnson inaccurately describing parties, and Ed Miliband mocking an elitist Tory.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Mean Girls, and It's a Wonderful Life.

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 we talk about the very many ways Trump lost in court over the past couple of weeks.

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