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 139: Straw Man (Redux) - FT#139
In the one hundred and thirty ninth episode we take another look at the Straw Man Fallacy, starting with Trump misrepresenting Biden and Sanders' unity platform, as well as Biden's stance on guns, energy and God.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Margaret Thatcher distorting Simon Hughes' question, Rishi pretending he helped, and Sir Michael Fallon lying about what Jeremy Corbyn just said.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Brooklyn Nine Nine, The Simpsons, and Alex Jones.
Jim and Mark go head to head in a very special Christmas edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which three of nine unaired Trump TV projects Jim made up.
Then we talk about the Colorado Supreme Court ruling which removed Trump from the primary ballot.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
