I’m just wondering if she’s seeing the world around her. Like, what, we’re going to use federal money to boost home construction so ICE can come and round up the people doing the building?

That’s what I’m kinda wondering! I’m not sure if there are any models that don’t do key fob/push ignition. #hatm

That brings us to tonight's #HATM questions:
