They don't seem to say why he would be impeached but all the stuff they do say we know is not true so I guess that shows the answer.
Sorry, Dnerever, are you saying Bobby's posting lies again?
I noticed that too. Nothing Bobby's posted here is true in any way, shape or form. It's complete krap, as every schoolboy knows.
The weird thing is, every time we point this out to Bobby, he tends to act all cute. He rolls over and asks us to tickle his tummy. He posts one of two things: his Key Largo meme or his Hang 'Em High trailer.
So I'm curious. Why doesn't Bobby just admit what he already knows to be true? What he knows we know? And what we know he knows we know?
Why play the bot? What do you think's holding him back?

No no no, Bobby is a simply wonderful fellow who would never post lies.
I do see however that there is a significant pool of evidence showing that he is not skilled in picking up the difference.
That's impossible, Dnerever. We've pointed out the truth to Bobby countless times. He's acknowledged this and admitted it. He
knows he's posting lies.
I'm trying to unpack the psychological mechanism that allows Bobby to think two completely contradicting things at the same time. Who knows?
This might be a useful function, evolutionarily speaking. Orwell believed that this was the future trajectory of Western civilisation. You know, doublethink; the jackboot stomping on the human face.
But then the internet came along and there was a flurry of libertarian optimism. We have, after all, a tool to allow us to factcheck instantly. But do you know?
Other powers fought back. The News Ltds and the Russians cunningly redeployed the internet, using it as a vehicle of political exploitation and propaganda.
This, however, wouldn't work without the willingness to fall in and accept the lies. Here in Australia, it's not so bad, but in Russia?
Putin pretty much controls the Russian language.
We're lucky to have English, we're fortunate to have diversity of views. But equally, we don't need doublethink. People who obey Dear Leader do so of their own volition. It's a choice.
Bobby and Aquascoot have us as friends. Whenever they decree some brave Dear Leader, some barechested "noble Vlad" or "Big Don" we say, yes, but you've mixed things up a bit. Big Don's actually working for Vlad, and Vlad's not very nice at all. Vlad came to power by planting bombs in his own people's apartment blocks to pretend they were being attacked by terrorists. Vlad is currently blowing up hospitals and kindergartens. He's not noble, he's a complete khu
nt.
So yes, they might be a bit mixed up at first, but we kindly show them the truth. Bobby and Aquascoot
know the truth, Dnarever, they just prefer the lies.
That's what I'm wondering. It must be really hard trying to keep lying all the time. Why not just accept the truth?
