“I am for removing child pornography from our libraries.”
Well now. I admire Jim for the abandon everthing on his schedule to go through our libraries, search for child pornography, and remove it when it’s found. Cause those library shelves are full of it.
This is the most important issue of our day.
This fella, he works hard.
That is a cutting edge politician!
Maybe retirement is next best thing here?
