This court decision is contrary to the new Trump Administration USA motto that replaces "E Pluribus Unum" in a foreign language that nobody understands it anyway.
The new USA motto is biblical. It comes from Genesis 2:17: "“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it"
Fascists are afraid of libraries, universities, schools, all repositories of knowledge because knowledge is power. Keeping Americans stupid means Trump holds the power instead.
Trump thought, and still does, that the President is the "Boss" When he was elected President it put him in charge of everything. He views the United States as an acquisition with all of it's assets becoming part of his personal portfolio He just can't understand that it doesn't work like that..
I think I've told the story here before about how, when I was 10 years old, I was allowed special permission to go to the "grown-up" part of our public library. Kids my age were generally relegated to the Children's Library in the lower level of the building but I had a passion for early Hollywood (movies and movie stars from the '20s-'40s, movie-making, etc.) and, of course, there was nothing on that subject in the kids' library. The agreement was, I could check out books from only that section of the "grown ups'" library. I'd look at the titles, give books a quick flip-through to see if there was anything that interested me, and end up marching to the check-out counter with my limit of four books and my well-worn library card. I felt very mature.
I just fought through my hangover to get to the supermarket and restock, a few hours ahead of a snowstorm that would make doing that extremely unpleasant. So...yay me, I guess. No more drinking for a while, that's for sure.
Gonna settle in and watch the Ohio State-Indiana game in about an hour. I really think this is where Indiana turns into pumpkins, but people have been saying that about the Hoosiers all season. When I get hungry, time for some reheated bean-sausage soup with rye bread and salad made with fresh greens. Meanwhile, I'll try to settle on a present for my great-nephew. (Grand-nephew? He's not even really a nephew. It's a Greek thing -- you don't wanna know.)
A bottle was part of my grocery shopping today. I drove 70 miles to Springfield and stocked up. I drink Tom and Jerrys from Thanksgiving through New years and then on the wagon the rest of the year. Got my one bottle. Spent big money on the cats. A 60 can package of Friskies and a 3 pound assortment of Temptations kitty treats. I will drive down to Branson to shop right before Christmas. The Aldi's down there will have good hams and all sorts of German food for Christmas
Well, found the vehicle-tracking app for OOOPS vehicle, moves so slow I wonder if he's accepting goods or services at each location. Slow. glacial progress even.
Fantastic news! I believe that it's our patriotic duty to check out as many books as possible to boost our local libraries' statistics. When the obituary is written for this Trump administration, it will borrow a line from Judge McConnell: "It was arbitrary and capricious."
Turns out the one thing Trump can’t beat is a librarian with a court order. The man has survived indictments, coups, and enough spray tan to embalm a moose, but he finally met his match in the terrifying power of free books.
Of course he tried to kill library funding. Authoritarians always go after two things first. Truth and anyone who can alphabetize it. Libraries are dangerous to a man whose entire worldview collapses the moment someone cracks open a civics textbook.
So a judge tells him he has to restore funding and suddenly he’s out here losing to interlibrary loan. This is the first time in history a president has been defeated by the Dewey Decimal System. Somewhere, Eleanor Roosevelt just high-fived a children’s librarian.

Let's hope they actually comply with the order and don't go looking for another un-subtle way round it.
What makes you think they're going to change? Of course they will look for away around it or just blatantly ignore it.
I remember the first book I ever checked out of the public library.
It was titled "We Love You Beatles", but 5-year-old me had never heard of them, so I thought it said "We Love You Beatless"...

“He seems not delivering on the promises that he promised the country,” Fiqy said.
The Gawd Emperor Not delivering on his promises?
I'M SHOCKED ! SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!!!!!!
Not just blind use audiobooks. I use them while driving. Of course my eyes are not great. That's why I use an HDTV as my computer monitor.

Branson, MO?
That's the place
Game is interesting so far
Been off my drink lately too, just a little too too.
Enjoy healthy food and drink and the game, too.

I would not want to be an OOOPS driver.

My Youth in a Bookmobile. Starring me.
He won’t stop until every American is as stupid as he is.
That's what happens when you suck up to a religion which sees illiteracy as a *virtue* to trick them into voting for you...
Hey Fiqy. Don't forget to waive goodby from the top of the stairs as you duck into the door of the ICE transport plane to east Hell.

Read some too, of course
