Dad Joke of the Week

Someone asked me if I support throwing bricks at ICE fascists and I told them, “No, because Brick cheese leaves a lot of DeBrie and while I’m Feta up with ICE, I refuse to be the Muensters they’ve become.” #DadJokes

(But all jokes aside ICE are acting like fascists, the department should be abolished, and the hundreds of billions in tax dollars currently wasted on ICE should be reallocated to social benefit programs to ensure meaningful public safety).
