    Does anyone buy this story?

    Do we think maybe it has more to do with reminding Democratic voters that Biden’s immigration and border policies aren’t that much different…?

    I mean, as funny as the headline is, put me in the skeptical column for the time being.

      The article says its to do with them wanting to get Trump back on for a debate and if they anger him he certainly won’t.

        I know what it says, I read it. I just don’t really buy it.

        But I can see a world where my skepticism is misplaced and I’m wrong. Just putting out what I think about this into the void.

          Not into the void. Its obviously not the situation described by the headline. But being lemmy, people cant accept not knowing so we churn creative new ways to express thoughtless woe.

        How are you not able to see what I’m talking about…?

        Maybe start by reading that article I linked, and there’s plenty more if you need more evidence.

        So, doesn’t seem unreasonable that the Democratic leaning TV network wouldn’t want to remind their voters that Biden isn’t doing that much different in regards to his immigration and border policies.

        Edit: Pretty lame to come at me, go ham after I reply, and then instead of editing your wildin out response to say, “oh my bad, I see it now”, you just delete it instead.
