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

In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the political and gaming communities alike, documents obtained by our investigative team at The Onion's Field of Dreams Division have uncovered an audacious scheme involving the world's most popular mobile gaming empire, "Candy Crush-U-Spend," and a seemingly grassroots movement known as "Tax The Rich, Not My Virtual Llama Herd."

The plot, orchestrated over the course of several months, involved "Candy Crush-U-Spend" funneling millions of dollars through a labyrinth of shell companies and offshore accounts to fund a lobbying effort that appeared, on the surface, to be a spontaneous uprising of citizens demanding fairer taxation. The movement, complete with catchy slogans and a viral social media campaign, successfully lobbied for the passage of the "Every Millionaire is a Unicorn, Trotting Freely Act," which, ironically, favored the very wealthy—including the gaming empire's owner, multi-billionaire and philanthropist, Lord Loot-a-Loot.

The mastermind behind this operation was none other than the gaming empire's Chief Executive Officer, Baron von Swipe, a man known for his ruthless business tactics and his ability to monetize every possible in-game action, from the birth of a virtual pet to the demise of a pixelated enemy. Von Swipe's motivation was clear: by influencing tax legislation, he could significantly reduce his own tax burden, thereby increasing his already staggering wealth. This would, in turn, allow him to invest more in his gaming empire, which would, in an almost poetic twist, further increase his wealth, ad infinitum.

The scheme was so meticulously crafted that it took our team of investigative journalists and data scientists months to unravel the web of deception. We discovered that the grassroots movement was led by a charismatic figure named Patricia "Tax the Rich" O'Hair, a self-proclaimed advocate for the working class who, upon further investigation, was revealed to be a paid spokesmodel and part-time community college economics instructor whose only prior political experience was a failed bid for a local petting zoo commissioner seat.

The Senate, which had been lobbied heavily by the movement, was initially unaware of the true source of the funding. However, upon learning of the deception, the Senate's Ethics and Integrity Subcommittee, chaired by the honorable Senator Swindle-Sleaze, swiftly launched an investigation. In a shocking turn of events, Senator Swindle-Sleaze was later discovered to have financial ties to the gaming empire, prompting a bipartisan call for his resignation.

In a statement, Lord Loot-a-Loot distanced himself from the scandal, claiming that he had no knowledge of Baron von Swipe's activities and that he was "shocked, simply shocked" by the revelations. Meanwhile, "Candy Crush-U-Spend" has announced a new in-game event called "Swipe for Justice," where players can help Lord Loot-a-Loot clear levels of legal troubles by matching items that represent transparency and accountability.

As the story unfolds, the nation remains on edge, questioning the integrity of political movements and the influence of big money on legislation. But for now, the citizens can take solace in the fact that their virtual llama herds are safe and sound, frolicking in the digital pastures, untouched by the heavy hand of taxation.
