What do you get when you combine ham-fisted political satire with wishful thinking on the part of an extremely dissatisfied faction of the electorate? Utter confusion, as in folks sharing fake news about House Republicans initiating impeachment proceedings against President Obama, when in fact no such thing has occurred.
The original source of this report, a website called The Daily Currant, bills itself as an "online satirical newspaper" whose stories are "purely fictional" (read the disclaimer).
For anyone unclear on the concept, "fictional" means "not true."
