FDR, and Ken Casey MP
For our first look at the United States in this world I bring you the 36th President of the United States and the Right Honorable Sectary for Labor.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (/ˈroʊzəvəlt/, /-vɛlt/[1] ROH-zə-velt; January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1949), often referred to by his initials FDR, was an American politician and attorney who served as the 36th President of the United States from 1929 until his death in 1949. A member of the Republican-Progressive Party, he won a record six presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the initial stages of the Goa’uld War, implementing his Iron Crucible domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the Scarlet Coalition, which defined Social Democracy in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third, fourth, and fifth terms were dominated by the Second Weltkrieg.
Born into the Roosevelt family in Hyde Park, New York, he graduated from both Groton School and Harvard College, and attended Columbia Law School, which he left after passing the bar exam to practice law in New York City. In 1905, he married his fifth cousin once removed, Eleanor Roosevelt. They had six children, of whom five survived into adulthood. He won election to the New York State Senate in 1910, and then served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Butler during the end of the First Weltkrieg and the beginning of the Red Peace. Roosevelt was James M. Cox's running mate on the Republican-Progressive Party's 1920 national ticket, but Cox was defeated by Republican Warren G. Harding. In 1924, he was elected as governor of New York. He served as governor from 1925 to 1928, promoting programs to develop the armament industry of the region in preparation for conflict with the Goa’uld.
In the 1928 presidential election, Roosevelt defeated incumbent Arthur MacArthur III in a landslide despite the military rigging the election in several key states. He took office in the midst of the Aftermath from the Battle of Earth and during the first 100 days of the 73rd U.S. Congress, Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the Iron Crucible—a variety of programs designed to produce relief, recovery, and reform. He created numerous programs to provide relief to the unemployed and farmers while seeking economic recovery with the National Recovery Administration and other agencies. He also instituted major regulatory reforms related to finance, communications, and labor, and presided over the beginning of the new American Armament Industry. He used radio to speak directly to the American people, giving 60 "fireside chat" radio addresses during his presidency and became the first American president to be televised. With the economy having improved rapidly from 1929 to 1933, Roosevelt won a landslide reelection in 1933. After the election, he passed the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1933 (or "court packing plan"), which expanded the size of the Supreme Court. The bill was nearly blocked by the newly formed Democratic-Conservative Party, but following the fall of Mexico to Hathor it passed unanimously. The war with Mexico that began the next year boosted his national support and allowed for the military to gain vital training against Goa’uld technology. He was to date the last American leader to oversee territorial expansion of the United States on Earth.
He was reelected in 1936 for his third term, making him the second U.S. president to serve for more than two terms. With the Second Weltkreig looming after 1938, the U.S. remained officially neutral, but Roosevelt gave strong diplomatic and financial support to the Qing Dynasty, the German Empire, and eventually the Argentine People’s Republic.
His 1940 reelection was his least controversial still floating on the effects of the War with Mexico. Following the KMT Attack Tsingtao on December 7, 1941, and the slaughter of the American military forces based there, an event he called "a date which will live in infamy", Roosevelt obtained a congressional declaration of war on the KMT. When France and Russia declared war on the US in response, the US formally entered the European theater of the war. Assisted by his top aide Harry Hopkins and with very strong national support, he worked closely with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, German Chancellor von Papen and the Chinese Xuantong Emperor in leading the Allied Powers against the Iron Pact. Roosevelt supervised the mobilization of the U.S. economy to support the war effort and implemented an Eastern Europe first strategy, initiating the Lend-Lease program and making the defeat of Russia first a priority over that of France or the KMT. His administration oversaw the construction of The Pentagon, and worked with other Allied leaders to lay the groundwork for the strengthening of the League of Nations and other post-war institutions. It was under his wartime leadership that the United States would become a superpower on the world stage.
Roosevelt won reelection in the 1944 presidential election on his post-war recovery platform. His physical health began declining during the later war years, but following Asgard intervention he managed survive his fourth term and win reelection in 1948. Fewer than three months into his fifth term, Roosevelt died on April 12, 1949. Vice President Henry Wallace assumed office as president and oversaw the beginning of the Asgard Intervention into the Milky Way and the Stargate Bidding War with Germany. Some of Roosevelt's actions have faced substantial criticism, such as his ordering of the relocation and internment of Chinese Americans, as well as his decision to break tradition by running for a fourth term. Nevertheless, he is consistently ranked by scholars, political scientists, and historians as being among the nation's three greatest presidents.
Kenneth William Casey Jr. (born April 15, 1969) is an American musician and politician who is the current Secretary of Labor of the United States, Member for Suffolk, as well as, bass guitarist, primary songwriter, and one of the lead singers of the Boston Celtic punk group the Dropkick Murphys.[1] Casey was one of the original members, starting the band in 1996 with guitarist Rick Barton and singer Mike McColgan. He is the only original member of the Dropkick Murphys left in the band, though drummer Matt Kelly joined shortly after formation in 1997. He is known for his melodic vocal parts and solid punk rock bass playing. Dropkick Murphys released their ninth album 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory on January 6, 2017. Casey also founded the charity group The Claddagh Fund, owns two Boston restaurants, McGreevy's and Yellow Door Taqueria, and runs his own boxing promotion called Murphys Boxing.
His interest in politics influenced his music and during the 2008 General Election he ran for the Seat of Suffolk as a member of the United Labor Front. Winning in a landslide he would rapidly enter the frontbench of the opposition due to widespread support from the IWW, AFL-CIO, and the Boston based Dockworkers Union. Following the victory of the ULF in the 2020 he was appointed Secretary of Labor.
