Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a shocking turn of events, the United States Senate erupted into a fiery maelstrom of political chaos today as it was revealed that leading mobile gaming companies, including the likes of "SwipeFortune Inc." and "PocketCash Ventures," have been covertly profiteering off the misery of recent natural disasters.

The scandal, which has been aptly dubbed "Operation CharityTap," came to light after a series of leaked internal memos indicated that these gaming titans had been actively promoting their games to disaster-stricken regions, offering a "limited-time consolation package" to those affected. The packages, which included in-game currency, were marketed as a way for victims to "escape the tragedy" and "find joy in the ruins."

Senators from both sides of the aisle, who had previously been locked in a stalemate over economic relief packages, found a rare unifying cause in the exploitation of the vulnerable. "It's disgraceful," exclaimed Senator FiscalResponsibly (D-Wealthy States) with a furrowed brow that seemed to etch itself into the annals of Congressional history. "Here we are, trying to pass a measly disaster relief bill, and these corporations are out here turning tragedy into triple-digit revenue growth!"

The gaming companies, however, remained steadfast in their defense, claiming that their actions were a form of "unprecedented benevolence." Spokesperson Thumbstoned Williams of SwipeFortune Inc. argued, "We're giving people a virtual escape, a chance to rebuild their spirits and their lives... virtually, of course. What's wrong with that?"

The public, unsurprisingly, was having none of it. Social media exploded with outrage, with hashtags like #VirtualVultures and #GamingGrift trending across the nation. In a rare display of bipartisan agreement, both Senator OptimisticReform (R-SunnyUtopia) and Senator ProgressiveChange (D-Hopeful Horizons) introduced a bill that would impose severe fines and restrictions on any form of marketing targeting areas within 30 days of a declared disaster.

The bill, while controversial in its own right, was met with applause from disaster relief organizations and the general populace. In an unprecedented move, even the gaming companies' own lobbyists were seen nodding in agreement, presumably calculating the potential loss in revenue against the cost of a public relations nightmare.

As the Senate continues to grapple with the ethical implications of virtual profiteering, one thing is clear: in the world of politics and economics, the line between compassion and exploitation is blurrier than ever, and it's up to the public to keep companies from crossing it, game or no game.
