Moving the Goalposts (Redux) - FT#186

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-sixth episode, we take another look at Moving the Goalposts, starting with Trump and Hegseth talking about the missile strike on the Iranian nuclear facility, and the shifting stories around Trump's association with Epstein.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we talk about the ever-changing age for retirement in the UK, an LBC listener struggling to justify her racism, and a Tory farming minister blaming badgers for moving goalposts themselves.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Futurama, Battlestar Galactica, and Selma.

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 include the full episode of The Body of Evidence podcast that Jim recently guested on. You can hear more at https://www.bodyofevidence.ca/

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.)
