ReplyDeleteI got one brewing bronie. I killed an Italian beef and portillos hot dog with lots of peppers. No fries because I'm low carb.
DeleteDang, "lots of peppers", prepare for an ordeal especially if your logs are on the "thick side". OUCH.
DeleteEsa mierda va kemar massiso alv
DeleteAnother one bites the dust...Can you imagine if that happen in USA. The cartel would be finished.
ReplyDeleteIn 2001 US federal prosecutor Thomas Wales was killed in a secrete cartel operation. The FBI is only now waking up to the true nature of the crime. No cartel has been touched.
DeleteEl 🍓 of LFM de Guerrero
ReplyDeleteYou think Almo will ever wake up and fight the cartels?
ReplyDeleteHablador is waiting for his term to be over soon. With all that bribe money, who knows where he will go live, perhaps Spain. Approx. 36,000 died to violence yearly on his watch.
Delete6:19 Hablador will not leave México. Not safe for him. He will impose by the infamous "dedazo" Claudia Sheinbaum as the candidata for MORENA to show México has achieved gender equality.
DeleteBut it will be the same as when Medvedev became "president" of Russia when everyone knew Putin was the puppet master. He will control behind the scenes if she's elected which is very probable.
Everything he criticized of previous presidentes that he claimed would be prosecuted for all the crimes they committed was just rhetoric for all his partisans to lap up. Mucho pedo para cagar aguado.
México might become a manufacturing powerhouse for products of many democratic nations from all the business China is losing due to its rising costs and its political pursuits.
Hopefully because of all those potential investments the security forces of the country become much more effective in reducing the victimization of the regular citizens. More jobs for the working productive people and more lead for the criminals that have enjoyed impunity.
A mother of her murdered child, done by a Cartel, wanted to make a speech at Elmos daily conferences, but he rejected her, from coming in to do a 3 minute speech.
DeleteWay to go Elmo and you call yourself a people person.
murdered child or murdered child sicario like so many? Its not been 36000 number’s going down by 8% but might be due to statistical tricks. More soldiers and police in the streets than ever. The problem is not amlo its the gob of each mx state they did not unite to fight they unite based on bribes and party membership to fight the political opponents and not the narcos. And if not they are busy cashing in on their positions.
DeleteThe name LFM is something considering its composed of mostly non-Michoacanos.
ReplyDeleteThe main shot callers are Michoacános. Pes and fresa are not the top of the food chain those two fools are not the main bosses and are from Guerrero.
DeleteNegative LFM pesados left after the uprising LFM are everywhere in Tierra Caliente. Even if the Minions are not from the MotherLand
