Audit all the senators and congress and house. Anyone who has stocks, or shares, or anything financial tied to their donor pool. They all have insider trading info and it's bullshit. Both parties do it. Audit them all. The tax payers are the only ones that have to play by the rules. Holding a public office should not make you rich. That's a problem and a clear conflict of interest. The people that hold a seat for 30 years and consistently back the same agendas that clearly benefit their donors are defeating the purpose of being a public servant.

As Obama said, “the president shouldn’t have a side hustle”.

You're describing Trump compliant Republicans.

He’s describing almost every politician you fool. Pretending that only one political party does it makes you a stooge. As dumb as the people who believe that there was no corruption before Trump got in office.

Oh so corruption existed before Trump? Thank you, detective.

Yelling both sides in a comment section about the openly corrupt president is worse

Pretending this is only a one-sided issue is trying to selectively use outrage as a political tool though. We should be holding all politicians accountable for this, and calling out all who do.

I'm tired of career politicians retiring with $50M and three vacation homes.

That's pocket change to the protagonist of this discussion. You need to be able to visualise the difference between 50M saved over a lifetime and 1B grifted in a year
