Alright, this is the REAL bonafide shit on Mr. Harry S Truman, 33rd president of the United States. Now, if you think about it and study your history you will know that, yes, he was the one who gave the word to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki but that was over 50 years ago and unless you have a time machine you cannot do anything about it. Would you also like to know that he did not know about the A-bomb until he was inaugurated and dropped it 10 days later? He was also a president who didn't take shit from anyone; take the incident when General MacArthur was speaking ill of Truman's and the UN's policies when he wasn't allowed to push on into China after the Korean War. So what did Truman do, kiddies? He met with MacArthur on a Pacific Island and went "You're fired." (Please consult your local library for a reliable source of his effects on American politics) He was also a very strong advocate for civil rights and would not tolerate them being denied to anyone. Now if you think about the China issue, that would have disastrous results such as leading into a possible third world war ON TOP OF the current cold war the United States was involved with the then-Soviet Union. So, please, check your sources before you shoot the shit or shoot shit in general.
Harry Truman was also invloved in the Potsdam Agreement

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Our greatest President! That guy stuck it to those racist SOBS. He integrated the military and in addition pushed for civil rights. Plus he was the one who raised minimum wage, federal education funding, farm subsidies, and Social Security benefits. He tried to repeal Taft-Harley but the GOP Congress stoped him (DAMN!). Harry is probably the only President (other than Washington) who didn't cheat on his wife (not that that makes a President, I'm talking about as a person). He also always took responsibility for himself, and stood up for what he knew was right, even when he nearly lost the Presidential election. Harry Truman created the CIA, and stuck it to that nutjob MacArthur. Yeah, he dropped two A-bombs on Japan, but he didn't enjoy it and mourned their deaths. Plus, the alternative (a mainland invasion of Japan) wwould have been a hell of a lot worse. All in all, Harry Truman was our best President (well, maybe he's tied with FDR), until Barak Obama or John Kerry get elected.
"Give 'em hell Harry!"-unknown speaker at the 1948 DNC convention.
"The Buck stops here!"-Harry Truman's motto.
"Protection by the government!"-His address of the NAACP, he was the first president to do so.

A member of legendary class of presedents also aincluding Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt known amoung itellectuals as the worst presidents in the history of the United States. Harry Truman is singlehandedly responsible for our current foreign policy and the entire mess in the Middle East. Harry Truman was the idiot responsible for bringing us into the United Nations, endangering our sovereignty more than any enemy could, and establishing the CIA, a tool which was used under Truman to overthrow an elected government in Iran, which got the ball rolling for our involvement in the Middle East. Without the CIA that Truman helped create, Al Qaeda wouldn't even exist. Without the UN, Israel wouldn't exist. The Middle East would be stable today and we wouldn't have this ridiculous foreign policy that is destroying our currency. Harry S. Truman is an idiot and anyone who thinks he was even a decent president needs to move to a different country, because he is an embodiment of anti-American.

One of the worst presidents in the history of the United States of America.
Harry Truman helped create the Central Intelligence Agency, got us in the Korean War, helped create and get us in the United Nations, helped create the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and gave us our shitty modern foreign policy. His administration was notoriously corrupt and he was widely hated throughout America. From most historians logic, George W. Bush will most likely be labeled as a "great" president in fifty or whatever years.
