A Cheese Amendment

The cheese board met with Mr. Insane.
As a block they want cheese to remain.
So Mr. President’s heading,
to ban packaged shredding,
to make America grate once again.

Deb Radke Date: 11/9/2018 10:34:00 PM Oh, ha. This is perfect. I love the play on words. I’d call Mr. President a cheesehead but I’d be insulting Wisconsin. Well done here. My best.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/10/2018 6:04:00 PM haha. What a great play with words and politics. Love this.

Yes, it seems like lunacy when you're on the outside looking in, but in time things hopefully will return to some form of normality and the US will be great again - Lindsay

Rico Leffanta Date: 9/10/2018 1:22:00 PM He can't attend football games as a cheesehead because it would melt if ANYONE did not stand to sulate the flag waving above children in cages suffering physical, mental, and sexual abuse by government employees.
