  A night at the garden
Posted by: Lilith7 - 26-10-2024, 08:52 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (2)

Trump intends to recreate a piece of political infamy. Dodgy

in 1939 Right wing Christian Nationalist Americans -  20,000 of them - gathered at Madison square gardens in a pro fascist, white supremacy rally. There was a massive portrait of George Washington - who must have been rotating rapidly in his grave - flags & the American national anthem.

This is a short (7minutes) documentary about that gathering.

They're currently serving life without parole; but now may be eligible for immediate parole. After 30 odd yeasr, if they're found to have been wrongly imprisoned they'd probably be  due  for some kind of recompense.

Went to replace front fan because it was noisy. Got it out only to discover it has extra wiring. Some go up to the switch area of front. Have refitted original fan to study and post this thread.
