Redditors chart the number of executive orders from the Führer 
only to show he's got a ways to go to catch up with the OG Nazi-puncher FDR 
- 49
- 46

I hate these fake butt lib comments that always appear.
"I used to be an uneducated hog person, but this reddit post enlightened me. Cmon fellow hogs, baske in the light with me"
Also you guys in this thread are stupid as usual. Trumps executive orders are stupid. FDR's literally saved the country and paved the roads we drive on nearly 100 years later. This obsession with little metrics like this is such small peepee energy.

If you ignore the whole putting commies on the supreme court and aligning with commies for WW2 FDR wasn't that bad

And basically handing half the world to the Soviets by trusting uncle Joe's pinky swears. And running for a third term when it was obvious he wouldn't see the end of it leaving the US with the wholly inadequate Truman in charge.

Every veteran who fought the japanese who was queued up for the eventual invasion of japan says without exception the bomb saved tens of thousands of american lives and millions of jap lives
Truman had balls of steel
Even the japanese vets have recognized they were nation ready to wholesale suicide out of blind fanaticism as evidenced by all the civilians who threw themselves off cliffs and shit because they thought the americans were going to r*pe them to death like the japs did to the chinks
Right !historychads ? or nah

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a net good for humanity, the US, Japan and Asia and I tired of pretending they weren't.

Truman was too kitty (or more likely, to reliant on state dept compromised by commies) to help Chang and save millions, and then made Korea unnecessary attritional war because he was too kitty to threaten China with
(as IKE eventually did ending the war). Thus condemning thousands or Americans and millions of Chinese and Koreans to die.

Do you think if we made peace with Japan or let north korea win it would be a better place or what lol

Help China in 46 (or 47 don't remember when Mao took over).
Basically US forces Chiang into a ceasefire while
throws tons of ww2 surplus at 
, letting 
break ceasefire and take over China.
Don't kittyfoot in Korea and actually threaten China with bombs (conventional and otherwise) when they send armies to Korea, instead of going "oh you're sending hundreds of thousands of your soldiers to kill ours, we won't drop a single bomb on you that would be ESCALATION
"

Every time it was mentioned for like 40 years the estimated death toll for a hypothetical invasion of Japan went up. I find it suspicious at least.

Yeah because we had more access to information so the guessing got more precise duh

Japan was outright militarily occupied, you'd think the US would have all the info needed after like, ten years max.
Maybe I'm just schizzing but it seems to line up with the behavior I'd do if I were trying to avoid historical humiliation in an era of increasingly anti-nuclear sentiment, a la Germany or Japan (even with the distinct advantage of not losing the war), by making Nagasaki and Hiroshima tragic sacrifices for the good of all and making the numbers whatever they needed to be.

we pardoned the majority of the most heinous war crimes committed by the japanese in the effort to move on
on the bright side, they became an economic powerhouse and important ally
on the dark side, anime, denial of atrocities, and jap-washing of history
!Germs were spared no luxury but they still turned out alright too though without getting their schwänze stroked

It wasn't even seen as ballsy at the time, simply a no-brainer. A fanatical empire was killing our soldiers -- why wouldn't we use every tool at our disposal? Truman didn't even order the bombing -- he approved an existing plan. It wasn't his biggest priority.

the criticism was that Obama/Biden (and Bush) abused executive orders to expand power, not that number of them. Biden had a number of executive orders get shut down by the courts
