New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat who has taken a soft touch with President-elect Donald Trump, left open the possibility of switching to the Republican Party in a pair of Friday morning interviews.

    “I don’t get it. It’s a supposed blue state so I had to be blue to get the rubes to vote for me. Now I’m in trouble anyway so maybe the red rubes can save me so I’m switching. I’m a politician, I don’t understand what the hubub is all about? It’s your fault for not knowing we’re all pieces of shit!”

    Adams has said he would support any federal plan that focuses on those undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes.

    So he’s up for doing the same thing everyone everywhere in the US is doing. Immigrants, undocumented or otherwise are routinely deported once convicted of committing serious crimes. This is true even in my home state which is as blue as they come, Massachusetts.

    We don’t do anything if someone’s crime is being here illegally. That’s not a serious crime. Rapists and murderers do not get to stay.

    That being said, the guy seems like a piece of shit who is aiming to get a pardon or have the case dropped against him for other things he’s done, largely stemming from corruption and campaign finance violations. People should be prosecuted for things they do, not because they avoid being critical of the opposition party. He probably should be deposed if any corruption can be proven to be intentional. The guy is pretty obviously trying to be buddy buddy with dumpy for his own gain to save his own skin.

    He’s like a Trojan Horse. I hope he does switch to the GOP so Democrats can run someone better next time. If he doesn’t switch to the GOP vote for someone else in the primary.

      There were other great candidates running. He got elected because he had landlords, cops, and other conservative communities on his side.

    Worms come out of the woodwork
    Leeches come from out of the dirt
    Rats crawl out of the holes they call home

    And the snakes start to sing

    Do it, you’ll be where you belong. You can take biden with you after his pardon of hunter. Sent the blatant corruption to the blatant corruption party.
