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

In a groundbreaking study that has sent shockwaves through the halls of power in Post-Impeachment Washington, a team of Nobel Prize-winning economists has unveiled a startling discovery: political corruption is not merely a byproduct of unchecked power, but a direct consequence of economic imbalances. The study, conducted by the prestigious Institute for Fiscal Misbehavior, reveals that the likelihood of political corruption increases proportionally with the presence of large, unregulated financial contributions, particularly from shadowy entities with names like "Cash for Clout" and "Lobbyists United for a Better Tomorrow."

The lead researcher, Dr. Fiscal-Calculator, a man whose beard is rumored to contain more electrons than a small smartphone, presented his findings at a packed press conference, where he was flanked by a cadre of scientists holding test tubes filled with what appeared to be murky water and the occasional glint of a shiny, corrupt coin. "Our data shows a direct correlation between economic disparity and the prevalence of political corruption," Dr. Fiscal-Calculator announced, his voice steady despite the fact that his lab coat was clearly a size too small.

The study, which involved complex algorithms and the meticulous analysis of over a thousand lobbyist-elected official interactions, concluded that the economic incentives for corruption are not limited to the usual suspects. In fact, the researchers were shocked to find that some of the most egregious examples of political malfeasance were perpetrated by none other than the honorable members of the Democratic Party, a finding that has been met with a mix of outrage and denial from both sides of the aisle.

In a related development, a group of rogue scientists from the Institute for Fiscal Misbehavior has gone rogue, claiming that they have discovered a way to harness the power of quantum economics to predict acts of political corruption before they occur. Dr. Quantum-Quanta, who some claim is the illegitimate love child of Albert Einstein and a Ouija board, has promised to reveal his groundbreaking methodology at a top-secret location, rumored to be a heavily guarded barn in rural Pennsylvania.

As the nation grapples with the implications of these revelations, citizens are left to wonder: will the newfound scientific understanding of political corruption lead to meaningful reform, or will it simply become another weapon in the endless battle for power and profit? One thing is certain: the days of naively believing that politicians are driven solely by the greater good are over. Science has spoken, and it seems to have a wry smile on its face.
