@EchoesofWarYT "He left the White House with a 22% approval rating, the lowest of any president to that point. Today, historians consistently rank him in the top 10." Proof that historians are evil. Truman was a mass-murdering warmonger.

Echoes of War
Echoes of War@EchoesofWarYT·
Today is Harry Truman Day. Some things you should know about the most underrated president in American history: He didn't have a college degree. He's the only 20th-century president who didn't. He was a Missouri farm boy who fought as an artillery captain in WWI (his men called him "Captain Harry") and never lost a soldier under his command. After the war he opened a haberdashery, went broke in the 1922 recession, and spent the next 15 years paying off every dollar he owed because he refused to declare bankruptcy. The "S" in Harry S. Truman doesn't stand for anything. His parents couldn't decide between his two grandfathers, Anderson Shipp and Solomon Young, so they compromised on just the letter. He was Vice President for 82 days. He met privately with FDR exactly twice. Nobody told him the United States was building an atomic bomb. He learned about the Manhattan Project after he was already President. When he was summoned to the White House on April 12, 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt told him her husband was dead. Truman asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?" She replied: "Is there anything we can do for YOU? You're the one in trouble now." Four months later, he authorized the use of nuclear weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In May 1948, against the unanimous opposition of his Secretary of State, his entire State Department, and the Pentagon, he made the United States the first nation on Earth to recognize the State of Israel. Eleven minutes after it declared independence. Two months later, he desegregated the entire United States armed forces by executive order. Sixteen years before the Civil Rights Act. That November, every poll, every pundit, and every major newspaper said he would lose to Thomas Dewey. The Chicago Daily Tribune printed "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" before the votes were counted. Truman won, and the photo of him grinning while holding up that wrong headline became the most famous election photograph ever taken. In 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to assassinate him at Blair House. A White House police officer named Leslie Coffelt was shot three times in the chest and still managed to kill one of the attackers before he died. Truman attended his funeral. Later that same year, a Washington Post critic named Paul Hume gave a mediocre review to his daughter Margaret's singing recital. The sitting President of the United States, commander in chief, holder of the nuclear codes, architect of the Marshall Plan, sat down and personally wrote Hume: "Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below." He kept a sign on his desk that read "The buck stops here." When he left the White House in 1953, he had no Secret Service detail, no presidential pension, and no staff. He and Bess loaded up their own Chrysler and drove themselves back to Independence, Missouri, stopping at roadside diners along the way. Congress was so embarrassed they invented the Former Presidents Act because of him. He was so broke as an ex-president he had to take out a personal bank loan. He refused every corporate board offer he received because he believed cashing in on the presidency would degrade the office. He left the White House with a 22% approval rating, the lowest of any president to that point. Today, historians consistently rank him in the top 10. The buck stopped there.

@Heartland_CS Love Will. But he didn’t “arrive”until Martinez got injured. He was a backup, so yes he wasn’t brought in and paid like a star recruit, this isn’t shocking but his statement doesn’t tell the whole story. Like comparing an apple to an orange.

@TomMarsLaw Bad take Tom. As an alum I was embarrassed when Tang threw his team under the bus in the rant, easy question to answer, plus all the thousands of other fans. Knew at that point Tang lost it. Embarrassing. Then hit the national news, even more embarrassing. Unprofessional.

Who was Gene Taylor listening to? K-State players said that Coach Tang “didn’t say anything wrong,” that they “respected” his decision to take their names off the back of their jerseys, that it was a “smart move” that was “well-needed,” and they “responded the right way.”
Ryan Gilbert@RyanGilbert_

K-State guard Nate Johnson on what interim Matthew Driscoll's message was to the team : "Honor Coach Tang, like, obviously he's not here with us, but still follow his message and just to stay positive and come more together."

@EMAWCaleb @JizzleLover With all due respect, no. Cincinnati has more resources, more money, newer and nicer facilities, bigger enrollment, higher endowment, more 🏀 history and the list goes on.

@GoodmanHoops Egregious (glaring;flagrant): Gotta stay out of national talk shows, you bash student athletes who you recruited and paid millions of university NIL dollars, and you’re the CEO? Not a good look for a coach in today’s landscape, glaring?

K-State on firing Tang for cause: "Recent public comments and conduct, in addition to the program's overall direction, have not aligned with K-State's standards for supporting student-athletes and representing the university." This is insane. Pay the guy what he's owed. He didn't do anything egregious.

@TomMarsLaw Goes beyond bags and losses. Tang rant made national news, put K-State and program in negative national spotlight with potential negative impact to the players and program. Tough to do in today’s landscape when you’re a CEO and given large NIL budget.

Kansas State is embarrassed because of its W/L record, made worse by the ridicule of bag-headed fans. But that’s why head coach contracts allow schools to move on by firing their head coach “for convenience” and paying their buyout. That’s not grounds for termination “for cause.”

Pete Thamel@PeteThamel

Per ESPN sources, Jerome Tang plans to fight Kansas State’s for cause firing. He’s owed $18.67 million, per his contact, so this not surprising. Tang told ESPN in a statement: “I am deeply disappointed with the university’s decision and strongly disagree with the characterization of my termination.... 1/3

@SosaPicks I feel these middle tier schools think they're bigger than what the school is. Like you're not Duke, UNC, Kentucky, UConn's, you ain't getting a upgrade

Leipold on K-State's Klieman retiring: Congratulate Chris on a great career and what he's done... Chris did call me this morning that he was doing that... It's too bad because I think Chris had a lot of good football ahead of him... he just felt it was time. #kufball

Chris Klieman went 54-34 during his seven seasons at Kansas State. The Highlights: A Big 12 championship, 3 wins over OU, 6 bowl games, 7 wins over KU ... and players like Deuce Vaughn, Cooper Beebe, Will Howard, DJ Giddens, Ben Sinnott, Jacob Parrish and Felix Anudike-Uzomah.

@Oldmanriver05 @toga_party_ @alison_renner Nebraska is 94-88 since leaving the B12 in 2010. Walked off into the cold dark land of non-existence. But yes share with us the glory years, like 1997. Players today weren’t even born then, hilarious…but show them the grainy VHS tapes I’m sure they’ll appreciate.

@CharlieGolf2 @RushMornings Shareholders have money invested and skin in the game, fans have tickets to a game. NIL donors aren’t hitting social media to complain. Most are armchair QBs on X and social media. Big difference. I agree on one item, he controls his own destiny, AD won’t force him out.

@EmawArkansas @RushMornings It’s a hell of a lot more Walmart than it was whe he signed up for the job. He needs to decide if it’s still the business he wants to be in, and nobody would blame him if he opted out. I feel for these guys, but it’s the reality.
