What can Adams offer Trump to get a pardon?

Become a Republican (again). Kiss his ass nonstop for a year or so.

I guess Trump is shallow enough for the second option to work.

Just ask Tulsi Gabbard and Rod Blagojevich. Like Adams they only became Democrats to advance their political careers.

There is no question that Adamas is a shameless conservative (and incompetent, and a crook) but I don't see what him going back to being a Republican would give Trump.

It would make it easier to point to us as being "out of touch" by Orange Blob and others. "See even New York City thinks Democrats are nuts!"

Cooperation. Fealty. Immigrants to deport. Anything he wants, I'm sure.

All of that feels a little cheap given that Adams is just such a fuck-up, but I might not be a cheap enough date. I don't think that sentence made much sense but I'm tired today.
