Biden is probably the most left-wing president in our nations history.
He isn't president.
Biden is probably the most left-wing president in our nations history.
More so than FDR?
YES HE WAS.Yes, FDR was not pushing an agenda,
He CAUSED the depression.he was dealing with bigger problems such as the depression and the war.
Most of which were even more blatantly unconstitutional than what DID stick.He once said he had no idea what policy would work but was throwing everything against the wall to see what would stick.
True.The amount of ridiculous legislation got so bad that the democrats in congress even turned against him and the Supreme Court were tossing so many of his things out that he tried to stack the court with 11 justices.
True. Indeed, we are STILL living with that mess.He was just a mess.
True.Because of FDR we passed the 22nd amendment limiting the terms a president can serve.
Wars do not fix the economy. Wars destroy economies.It's also known that FDR was pushing for our involvement in WW2 to help him fix the economy so far as to suggest that he was warned of the attack on Pearl Harbor but let it happen.
FDR didn't move the carriers. They were out on patrol at the time looking for Japanese activity in the area. That order came from Adm. Kimmel.That is why our carriers were moved away before the attack.
FDR didn't hush it up.Apparently there was a British sub tailing the Japanese fleet and had warned the US of what was going on but FDR hushed it up.
FDR placed an embargo on Japanese shipping, due to their aggression against the Philippines.FDR was also the one that cut of Japan from supplies forcing them to attack us
You don't get to speak for the dead. You only get to speak for you. You don't know what FDR was thinking. Omniscience fallacy.and FDR knew this would be the result.
Conservatives say that about literally every Dem President.
Probably the most left wing in the last 4 years.
Most left wing in US history? Wasn't Lincoln was so left wing he wanted to stop blacks from learning useful work skills.
No, Lincoln's policies were aligned with the right, especially his economic ones.
However, there was no left and right back then like we have today so you can't really classify presidents during that time.
Back then presidents governed according to accomplishments, not political parties like we do today.
In fact we used to determine the VP by whoever was the runner up in the election meaning the guy who lost got the VP vote.
We changed that but some presidents have still selected VP's from the other party, Lincoln being one of them.
He chose a democrat to be his VP.
Japan had plenty of spies in Hawaii who would have known the aircraft carriers were not there.
To believe your statement you would have to believe the spies either missed that fact or intentionally covered it up.
Japan wouldn't have attacked on Dec 7th had they known the carriers weren't there, those were their main target.
They wouldn't have known until the carriers actually left, which was a few days before the attack, which had long been in planning and was already in the stages of execution.
Communications rather sucked in those days too. Those spies could not communicate that information easily or they would be caught.

No.So Japan couldn't have simply turned their ships around and waited?
No, they weren't.The spies were full aware of the carriers schedules
Relations were hostile but not yet at open war.and we weren't at war with Japan
No. They had no idea where the carriers were or even if there were in harbor or not.meaning they could have just waited out in the ocean for them to return or they could have also chased them down.
It makes perfect sense.None of that makes sense.
No. The carriers were on patrol. You seem to forget the Japanese attacked Pearl harbor anyway (sinking and severely damaging battleships, and damaging the airfield). A fleet of new bombers was also being shipped in from the mainland at the time. They arrived in the middle of the attack unarmed and out of gas and a damaged runway to land on. Not many of them made it. A few managed to make it to alternate airfields. You are also failing to consider the geography of Pearl harbor itself and why it is a dangerous harbor.This points to the fact that the US government was aware of the impending attacked and stealthily moved the carriers out of harms way.
No.

Are you figuring out that no one cares about you?

Not very good for a sneak attack is it?
