"They were one of the most woke banks" -- James Comer on SVB Bank, I am surprised Comer did not blame Silicon Valley Bank's collapse on Hunter Biden's Cock and Laptop.
One of the persistent myths surrounding the Republican Party is they are the party of Law & Order. Nothing is more ridiculous. Republicans work tirelessly to undo laws and sow disorder into every system possible. Republicans believe their lies about the Constitution only existing to restrain government and do everything they can to unshackle Business to engage in criminality and gross negligence. Back the Blue and Thin Blue Line regalia are just rhetorical cudgels the right spouts to bash the left. Just as they did with railroad safety, the Trump Maladministration specifically rolled back bank regulation and rules to constrain risky bank behavior.
After the W(orst POTUS Ever) Administration exploded the US Economy with the 2007 Republican Great Recession, conservatives took every opportunity to blame President Carter and fair housing laws enacted in the 1970's. Republicans and Rightwing strategists know in this era of Rightwing drones being spoon-feed non-stop propaganda, it is easy for the Daily Caller, Breitbart, Faux News and Republicans to push the clever soundbite headline "GO WOKE, GO BROKE" and then rely on the relentless repetition and the ever churning news cycle to derail any detailed reporting of the true causes of collapse.Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund withdrew millions from Silicon Valley Bankas of Thursday morning as the bank descended into chaos, according to a person familiar with the matter.
