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.

episode 125: Tautological Templar - FT#125
In the one hundred and twenty fifth episode we explore the Tautological Templar Fallacy, starting with Alan Dershowitz basically claiming nothing a President does is impeachable, and Kellyanne Conway saying everything a President does is Presidential.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Nadine Dorries excusing the fact that Boris didn't follow lockdown rules and then claiming that Boris tells the truth!
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Taxi, The Good Place, and Peacemaker.
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 latest audio recording of Trump committing crimes.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
