Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5196704-trump-executive-order-federal-agencies-eliminate/ There's more homeless in America today than there ever was. All of that money was not only wasted, but it was stolen by Democrats and their cronies. Good riddance. We already see the huge shift in the media messaging now that our government stopped funding them. Good riddance. What is a library? Oh... right. It's that place where 10 year old kids can go to rent books about how they should transition to the opposite sex without telling their parents and that their teachers will keep their secrets. And let's be honest... our kids haven't learned how to read books in school for the last 15 years, and some of them probably don't even know what a book is, let alone a library. GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE.
