They released a previously injured sea turtle into the Pacific with a GPS tag after several years in an aquarium.

It swam due west for 2,000 miles.

Apparently it was looking for the other side of the tank.

The world is different. The crises are different.

Unfortunately, DJT created a crisis from nothing.

The policy is "controversial" enough. It's not the policy per se, but the unpredictability of having a despot randomly come up with numbers with no basis in reality is destabilizing

Unraveling the causes of the Depression is a complex feat.

FDR's New Deal has been accepted to not really have ended the Depression. WWII did.

I don't know if the agencies, regulations, and laws that stemmed from it really will prevent another. The major lesson was to do something.

the allies showed they learned their lesson.

No reparations.

The Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe to strengthen the Western democracies against the Russians.

Had we not, all Europe may have gone communist.

This situation led to a false boom in the US that burst when Germany simply printed more money to cover their debt. Hyper inflation destroyed the German economy and the defaults spread back to the US.

Not the only cause of the Great Depression, but a major factor.

After WWII...

I believe you missed a significant factor.

The Treaty of Versailles.

The US had loaned millions to the allies. The French and the UK had no way to pay. They demanded reparations from the Germans who also had no way to pay. (They made their final payment 10/3/2010)

The US rebuilt Europe, for a fee

While the order wouldn't be illegal per se, it is invalid. The US military cannot follow commands given by someone other than the Secty of Defense.

Insubordination / disrespect for the system Congress created are very serious offenses in the military. A poor example for discipline & morale.

I appreciate the 1st Amendment issues.

He's a civilian official performing official acts in a role created by Congress. His authority to act derives from that statute.

If he performs official acts and signs as the King of Siam, that act is unenforceable. He has authority only as Secty of Defense.

Seems they are wasting flavorings on potato chips. Shouldn't they be working on healthy foods?

Why can't they make cauliflower taste like bacon or asparagus taste like pizza?

Illegal orders.

Every time he uses the moniker "Secty of War" he is violating the law.

The name change from the War Dept to the DoD was enacted into by Congress and Pres Truman in 1949. It was done to reflect American commitment to never be an aggressor nation.

Secty of Defense by law.

Yeah, great strategy to win the war on drugs. Highly effective.

Idiot.

He's the one who sent her there. He has zero remorse for putting her life in danger.

She was not there to fight crime. The Guard can only protect federal property and personnel. It has no authority to investigate or enforce local crime.

She was there b/c of his political agenda to deport illegals.

May be different in DC than other cities b/c of federal jurisdiction, but

The administration continues to say the Nat'l Guard is there to decrease crime.

That's the lie.

The Guard is only authorized protect federal property and agents - not to perform local police duties like crime enforcement.
