You know what "TB" means, we know what "TB" means. You've been reminded, warned, and suspended for it already and yet you recently used it here, here, here, and here. Use it as a personal attack again, or anything similar we construe to be a variation thereon, and you'll probably find yourself on an impromptu posting holiday.

So you talk about mobs and the working classes as if they were the question. You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists. - G.K. Chesterton
Guardian analysis shows Club for Growth has spent $20m supporting 42 rightwing lawmakers who voted to invalidate Biden victory
An anti-tax group funded primarily by billionaires has emerged as one of the biggest backers of the Republican lawmakers who sought to overturn the US election results, according to an analysis by the Guardian.
The Club for Growth has supported the campaigns of 42 of the rightwing Republicans senators and members of Congress who voted last week to challenge US election results, doling out an estimated $20m to directly and indirectly support their campaigns in 2018 and 2020, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
About 30 of the Republican hardliners received more than $100,000 in indirect and direct support from the group.
The Club for Growth’s biggest beneficiaries include Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, the two Republican senators who led the effort to invalidate Joe Biden’s electoral victory, and the newly elected far-right gun-rights activist Lauren Boebert, a QAnon conspiracy theorist. Boebert was criticised last week for tweeting about the House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s location during the attack on the Capitol, even after lawmakers were told not to do so by police.
Public records show the Club for Growth’s largest funders are the billionaire Richard Uihlein, the Republican co-founder of the Uline shipping supply company in Wisconsin, and Jeffrey Yass, the co-founder of Susquehanna International Group, an options trading group based in Philadelphia that also owns a sports betting company in Dublin.
While Uihlein and Yass have kept a lower profile than other billionaire donors such as Michael Bloomberg and the late Sheldon Adelson, their backing of the Club for Growth has helped to transform the organization from one traditionally known as an anti-regulatory and anti-tax pro-business pressure group to one that backs some of the most radical and anti-democratic Republican lawmakers in Congress.
Top United Church of Christ leaders have told their denomination's churches to be on high alert in the coming week.
Three of the Ohio-based Protestant denomination's elected officers said in a joint statement that law enforcement has identified mainline churches as potential targets.
A couple of conference ministers and an ecumenical partner received credible threats against so-called liberal institutions and government buildings, the UCC leaders said. They did not say who had made the threats. The statement is signed by the Rev. John Dorhauer, UCC general minister and president, and UCC associate general ministers the Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson and the Rev. Traci Blackmon.
"There are reports that 'liberal' churches will become targets of possible attacks in the coming week, with the dates of Jan. 17 and Jan. 20 featured more prominently," according to the statement first posted Friday and expanded upon on Saturday.
