Remember, remember

The fifth of November

Gunpowder treason and plot

I see no reason

Why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

This old English rhyme refers to Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 was arrested and tortured for his involvement in a plot to blow up the English parliament. Fawkes was put in charge of the gunpowder the plotters were going to use, which they stored in a basement room under the House of Lords. He confessed under the torture and was executed.

November 5 has since been observed as Guy Fawkes Night in Britain, traditionally marked by fireworks and the burning of Fawkes in effigy.

Hmmm... does this bit of history remind us of anything??? And would that have any connection to Election Day occurring on November 5 this year?

(edited to clarify: I see that PDJT did not actually quote the rhyme in his X post, so the title of this thread is misleading.)
