The GQP Senators are a bought-and-paid for lobbying wing of the Big Bankster Cabal. Ergo, they are afraid of a regulator who wants to corral and castrate the “animal spirits” (i.e., rampant excesses of privatizing profits and communizing costs) of runaway white-collar criming that is so much of modern big-banking. ••••• ((Let’s please recall how no Exec went to jail for causing The Great Recession under Bush/Cheney, and all gleefully kept their prior bonuses and also accepted Govt Bailouts to save their collective corporate bacon.))

Here’s what I think needs to be emphasized. Senator Kennedy is not some dumb ass like Gosar and Bobert and Green and Gohmert. This dude is literally Ivy League educated. This is not ignorant racism, this is intentional racism.
