Does conflict of interest not exist in the US, or is it encouraged to get yourself elected and just be openly corrupt?

Why not just declare yourself a massive wage straight from the budget?

Is this not a conflict of interest? String this motherfucker up in the gallows. It is downright corrupt to write laws that benefit your franchise. Fuck this asshole with a rusted spoon. Take all this online anger and shove it in his smoothie king lobbies.
