Came across complex history of US army bonus while researching #FDR and the #NewDeal -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army
#FDR
The #SCOTUS on #ThisDayInHistory in 1944 made one of its worst rulings, 6 to 3, that #FDR's #ExecutiveOrder9066 was legal. #KorematsuVUnitedStates cleared the way for 120,000 Americans to spend #WWII in #ConcentrationCamps, using the same #racist reasoning as the #Fascist powers.
WHAT A NUCKING CHILD! 🤬
#ToddlerTrump added summaries beneath every president in his "Hall of Presidents" (which he added to the hallway leading to the West Wing.)
Now, of course, he thinks he's the greatest president in American history (take THAT #Lincoln, #Washington & 4-term #FDR), so it should come as no surprise that the #NarcissistInChief with the most fragile ego in the world had to make himself feel bigger by putting snarky insulting bios under every picture. 🤔
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1936-06-27), Acceptance, Renomination for President, Democratic National Convention, Philadelphia

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust — or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and the confidence and the courage which flow from conviction.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

@Nonilex But after all, #HumphreysExecutor was used to prevent #FDR from replacing a conservative. Now that the #GOP has power, of course the ruling is inappropriate.
#SituationalJurisprudence is not a basis for justice or integrity in government.
December 7, 1941, "a date that will live in infamy", marks the pivotal moment when America shifted from isolationism to a global superpower, a status that is currently diminishing in the Age of Trump

The #21stAmendment achieved ratification on #ThisDayInHistory in 1933. Ending #Prohibition was a signature policy of #FDR, as it would create jobs. It is unfortunate the US still hasn't learnt that banning drugs causes more harm than good; #WarOnDrugs is as stupid as Prohibition.
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other Nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men and not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1945-01-20), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.

FDR's compromise sounds reasonable to my ears! What's 49,000 dead Nazis between friends?
The left is pushing Democrats to embrace their greatest president. Why that’s a good thing.

Democrats please do a blue wave like FDR did in the elections of 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. No more Kamala Harris, Joe Bidens, or any of those arrogant bastard Democrat politicians.

If Democrats were like FDR, Democrats would be winning every election. Democrats must push economic policies that help everyone.

The #TehranConference began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1943. The first #BigThree meeting of #Stalin, #Churchill, and #FDR, it committed the US & UK to opening a second #WWII front in the west. The location was seen as safe because of the joint Anglo-Soviet invasion of #Iran in 1941.
