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 104: Appeal to Self-Evident Truth - FT#104
In the one hundred and fourth episode we explore the Appeal to Self-Evident Truth, starting with Trump claiming there was obvious fraud during the election and that his first impeachment was an open and shut case (but not the way you think).
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Nadine Dorries defending Boris against an 'obviously' coordinated attack, Sir Kier Starmer pointing out how obvious it is that Boris is unfit to be Prime Minister, and finally Charlotte Carew-Pole claiming as self-evident the fact that women are less problematic as politicians.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Peep Show, The Blacklist and Evil Under the Sun.
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 a few of the most horrific recent Supreme Court decisions.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
