False Dilemma (Redux) - FT#155

In the one hundred and fifty-fifth episode we take another look at the False Dilemma Fallacy, starting with Trump questioning Bill Barr's loyalty, being dramatic about the stakes of the election, and not understanding the nuance of opening the country during a pandemic.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Viscount Younger of Leckie talking about the financial drawbacks of climate concern, GB News on whether you should care about the NHS or pronouns.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Two and a Half Men, and Parks & Recreation.

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 Tim Walz.

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.)
