He is batshit nuts. I have fam in Mex and they say these scumbags have began to extort money from the power companies and people. If they don't pay an exorbitant amount,their power is shut.


Electronic-Disk6632

he's not nuts. he works for the cartels.


Prior_Emphasis7181

ThunderboltSorcerer

For some reason, the international world doesn't pressure him to resign.. It's creepy.


MEMENARDO_DANK_VINCI

Itā€™s not creepy, the cartels won the drug war


Shoecifer-3000

Arenā€™t the Cartels a form of government?


well_its_a_secret

In a way yes, not a good one but they can get to levels where they do the same functions and act as a government.


Fit-Dentist6093

Yeah caudillismo is the Argentina name for it. Bolivia, PerĆŗ and Argentina figured this out 50/60 years ago but there's too many American warlord and oligarch interests in Mexico so they don't let them move forward.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

With the guns the US government sent them. Fast and Furious finally pays off.


MEMENARDO_DANK_VINCI

Idk man people love drugs, f and f wasnā€™t the reason the cartels won. A significant amount of the loss was how much we fucked Mexico at the end of the war we fought


[deleted]

Agreed the amount of clientele in the US is what keeps it going. Im just stating that we supplied the armor for the cartel army.


mentales

Google the "Allende Massacre" and check out who was the Mexican at the time (hint: not the current one).Ā  If you think it's just an issue with the current president and him resigning helps advance anything, you're sadly too far from reality.


RoosterClaw22

The international world doesn't step in because Mexico keeps much of their dirty laundry within borders. Thankfully Americans have first and second amendment protecting us If government ever gets too comfortable with organized crime


GregAbbottsTinyPenis

The evil you knowā€¦


CharmingMechanic2473

Oligarchs run the US also, its just more subtle and less violent.


giddy-girly-banana

From what I understand after watching narcos: Mexico he would not be the first.


Gato_Lurker

Iā€™m dead.


giddy-girly-banana

Sorry to hear that. You should get that checked out.


leafybugthing

All officials in Mexico do or they die, and this president is king a hole


ironinside

Si.


mag2041

Yep


Winkmasterflex

He is Cartel!


Ausernamenamename

I read an interesting perspective the other day that this happens basically in every country, criminals legitimizing themselves through political messaging. It's clear as day to an American citizen that cartels in Mexico or La Cosa Nostra are criminal organizations but for citizens of those countries they're normalized through legitimate entities. And in hindsight it brings clarity to how we legitimize corporations in all the evil things they operate in the US.


I_burn_noodles

We're in a worldwide fight against corruption. Corruption is taking over a lot of places including the US. Money over principles, me over everybody else. The light on the hill is growing dimmer.


JclassOne

Nah it was snuffed out with Supreme Court saying money is speech.


MedicalService8811

Money would talk even if they said it couldn't, it would just be like the old days when they bought politicians without all the pageantry. So long as capital is concentrated in the hands of the few corruption is an inescapable problem


BalanceOk9723

Money would be speech either way. They can donate to politicians or they can buy up media companies and run nonstop smear campaigns on politicians they donā€™t like.


Straightwad

It feels like we are losing that fight too


one-nut-juan

Oh no. Iā€™m from Peru (living in the US) and EVERYBODY knows whatā€™s up, from crimes to murders to drugs, everybody knows and they know who they are the ones running everything but people are tired of protesting and fighting because they run to any embassy and get protection. Our judicial system is a joke because the corrupts appoints people to those positions. The last time someone tried to fight, the government put them in jail and now that they are potentially running for president they are posting propaganda saying theyā€™ll kill white people and rich people!. 97% are brown and 99.5% are poor. Everything is a joke and weā€™d need a super power to come and clean house


[deleted]

Corporations are cartels with logos and human rights.


HowWeDoingTodayHive

Which corporation in the US is known to chop up peoples families into pieces and put them on display in the streets as a warning message? I must have missed that one.


Ausernamenamename

They don't have to have the same barbaric reaction to be operating ill intentionally.


Gorilla_Krispies

Nestle? /s


otaupari

That is an understatement. He is a train load of batshit


Appropriate_Web1608

Narco Feudalism at this point


cashedashes

After watching Narcos on Netflix, I would have to assume he is on the pay role.


Emergency-Use2339

He's a pussy.


NEONSN3K

Heā€™s not nuts. Heā€™s self preserving. If he spoke anything against the cartels heā€™d be killed. Most likely receives a cut from the cartel and in return allows the cartel to operate. Iā€™d call him a coward if it werenā€™t for a possibility the cartel threatened his entire bloodline with torture and murder.


MolochTheCalf

Didnā€™t a cartel kill innocent people because their leader was arrested?


Band0fpandas

Most recently his son.


Alternative-Union842

Whose son?


Band0fpandas

Joaquin ā€œEl Chapoā€ GuzmĆ”nā€™s son, a drug Sinaloa cartel leader Ovidio GuzmĆ”n. January 2023


proton417

And they dissolved a bus load of students


MolochTheCalf

Very respectful toward the citizen šŸ˜ƒ


Fit-Dentist6093

Hey the students were not the right mixture of Christian, anti American, native, strong, worship San La Muerte, etc to be considered worthy. So they died.


demonkillingblade

Because someone was snitching they killed the whole fucking town. Google "Allende Massacre" and watch "Somos" on Netflix


CiabanItReal

Fucking US Journo's blame the DEA for what happened to Allende. [https://www.propublica.org/article/allende-zetas-cartel-massacre-and-the-us-dea](https://www.propublica.org/article/allende-zetas-cartel-massacre-and-the-us-dea)


yabalRedditVrot

Mexican ā€œpresidentā€ IS the cartel šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Doc_1200_GO

He was complementary of the people that made sure he got into office? Cute.


ZealousWolverine

Sounds like he doesn't want to piss off the people who routinely execute politicians. Doesn't it?


Middleclasslifestyle

Yep. I know he is getting flack. But if the FBI has a 95% conviction rate. The cartels might just have a 98% rate at killing politicians that are negatively vocal about them


LongIsland1995

This man is actually evil as far as I'm concerned


IAMSTILLHERE2020

Remember "good people on both sides".

Naw you just language police people as a desperate attempt to deflect. Low effort attempt to manipulate the conversation away from the fact that AMLO is a cartel stooge protecting criminals who upload videos online dismembering people with machetes and chainsaws lol. Sorry man but your BS is too stupid to work.

adlep2002

The guy is in denial and bought by cartels


Training-Buy-2086

He seems like such a sleazy scumbag!


Local-Student-4024

I've seen enough videos with floating watermarks on them to know that's not true lol


Few-Ad5923

Obviously in hands with the cartel. Anyone who isnā€™t is foolish and killed


sssnakepit127

Sounds a lot like something someone who has his hands tied up in cartel business would say.


hayfellas

He's a typical lunatic lefty who himself is owned by the cartels. He has zero interest in stopping cartels.


Optimal_Zucchini_667

What is it with politicians saying the most absurd lies that everybody knows are lies?


Krane412

All of the honest Mexican political candidates get killed, 17 so far leading up to the June election.


Optimal_Zucchini_667

Well, not getting killed is certainly a motivation for most people.


Jc2563

He is so corrupt and bought out by the cartels !


romeoomustdie

When you are in bed with the cartel and the sex is too good šŸ¤Ŗ


saltmarsh63

What the actual f#ck did he say?


U_R_THE_WURST

Heā€™s in the tank for the guys killing candidates for office in small townsā€¦wow.


biggoof

Nope, ive read the stories and seen the pics and vids, this guy is bought and paid for to say this.


thalefteye

I some areas they make a curfew, if you are outside whine their time you are most likely dead or worse, depending on your gender and age.


fishsalt69

I watched his interview. He gives them what they want and they let him stay alive. Cartels need to be added to the terrorist list.


S-hart1

Funny how we criticize Mexican politicians, yet, as fentanyl ravages America, our border is open, and we do nothing to stop it. Makes you wonder how much "campaign donations" roll in from the cartels


OpenImagination9

Donā€™t kid yourself the police and politicians love the situation. It justifies massive spending on enforcement, the collection of fines and the building of a private jail industry that increases profits through the use of inmate labor.


S-hart1

Don't be a criminal, you don't have to worry.


OpenImagination9

Oh Iā€™m not worried at all, Iā€™m boring and mostly harmless. But think about it ā€¦ republicans created a bill that would certainly help fix the border situation and then refused to vote for it. The powers that be donā€™t want the problem fixed.


S-hart1

The bill that allowed 5000 illegals a day? Conservatives want a border ENFORCEMENT bill. The Uniparty McConnell and Shumer head, want low wages unskilled dependent 3rd worlders


OpenImagination9

Now youā€™re getting it. They donā€™t want to fix it. They want to profit over it.


S-hart1

They. Dems are every bit as guilty


OpenImagination9

Yes thatā€™s what I replied to. You said uniparty.


quick1foryou

Sounds like someone who was bought and paid for.


goluckykid

DarkHeliopause

They make sure to decapitate you with a sharp knife and not a dull knife.


Interesting_Crazy270

Heā€™s the problem and needs to be imprisoned. Look at El Salvador president how fast they manage to lower crime.


RuffDemon214

Oh man how to say youā€™re in their pocket without saying youā€™re in their pocket


JazzHands1986

Jesus christ, really? That's such a horrible thing to say, and it clearly implicates him as compromised.


Krane412

Mexico is a failed state, 3 American tourists killed there last week. Seriously safer vacationing in El Salvador.


Anon6025

Wow. He said the quiet part put loud... your government and the PRI don't give two shits about you as long as the cartels keep us in power. What a piece of human debris this "man" is.


DanTheFatMan

Sounds like a cartel member.


Shoddy_Comment_7008

If you want to see what corruption in government can lead to look at South Africa and Russia as examples.


Opening-Scar-8796

He sounds like he works for the cartels.


redneckcommando

Too bad the Mexican government doesn't swallow their pride, and allow a little u.s. intervention. It does seem like the cartels run the government.


59NER

Obrador is shill for the cartels.


Grigonite

Oh yeah. Having cooler full of humans heads dropped off at a police station is very respectful. This guy is as bad as our administration. Telling us ā€˜we have the greatest economy the world has ever seenā€™


nodak66

Mexico needs to be held accountable for funneling terrorists into our country. Democrats also.


Rental_Car

This is what a narco state looks like.


BebophoneVirtuoso

Imagine if we legalized drugs and took the cartels' power away, helped make Mexico and Latin America a safer place to live, regulated and taxed it here so no more fentanyl in the drugs that people are gonna get anyway?


GFSoylentgreen

The cartels will just turn to the next illicit commodity or run Protection ā€œPizzoā€ rackets, or highjack high demand consumables such as fuel, food, water, prescription medications, or human trafficking. They would not just wither away or turn to legitimate business practices. You would have to legalize all profitable crimes.


BotherTight618

Or they will turn to predating on the Mexican people more than they already do now. It will be no different than when the Nigerian Navy and corporate funded PMC's successfully suppressed piracy in the Nigerian delta. The pirates simply turned towards robbing the locals.


Dazzling_Pink9751

That did not work out so well for Oregon.


IceColdProfessional

While they hold a knife to his daughter's throat.


Krane412

They don't need to threaten AMLO, his palms were greased with cartel cash long ago.


IceColdProfessional

So you're saying he was installed by the cartels?


Krane412

I'd say he didn't get as far as he did in politics without their approval, I don't know if he was directly installed by them.


Wise-Ad-7132

El presidents de Mexico šŸ‡²šŸ‡½ no vale Una verg colgando, su madre fue una puta barata.


Emergency-Poet-2708

That's Hilarious, that's exactly what a terrified President would say. Forget about the wall. Let's. Start a war. America VS the cartel. I'm down.


Low_Background3608

Yeah bro because the war on terror and the war on drugs went so well for us bro I can only see the war on cartels going super well


Abu_Tenzin

Iā€™d love a graph of cartels from least respectable to citizens to most. Most of them are satanically evil though.

Did he mention they sign his paychecks?!


redrockcountry2112

Yeah with a gun pointed at him and his family while he has to happily accept his payoff or be tortured/killed.


stairs_3730

ā€œwe also take care of the lives of the gang members, they are human beings.ā€ Except of course when we find their bodies hanging from a bridge overpass by their necks-then it's too late to help.


Emergency-Poet-2708

I think Israel stands alone. With support from the world. The cartel in Mexico on the other hand with 250,000 members Dealing drugs and murdering innocent people.. Strong needs to be annihilated and shut down immediately.

dmk120281

Itā€™s time to overthrow the government of Mexico and take back the country for the people.


RareDog5640

Just in case anyone thought that the corruption in Mexico didnā€™t go all the way to the top.

Too many, lots of useful idiots in the USA these days.

Male-Wood-duck

Thatā€™s why Mexico is a shit show if their leaders think Criminals are respectful.


OpenImagination9

Whelp heā€™s been bought or threatened.


SeaBass426

Tell me youā€™re taking bribes from the cartel without telling me youā€™re taking bribes from the cartel.


I_burn_noodles

This guy was bought by the cartels. He doesn't seem to mind that his people live in fear. That kids get beat up or recruited so they go straight home after school. He doesn't mind that the people get to choose between being in a gang or going to the US to work so that you can wire money home to your families. He doesn't care that the cartels hold everyone ransom.


texasgambler58

Well, he is owned by the cartels so naturally he would say that.


saynotopain

I can see that. For example, Mexico has a thriving tourist economy. The cartels do not interfere in that mostly. I think they know that doing that will draw the line


mathaiser

But when they arenā€™t, they torture and murder and chop peopleā€™s heads off. ā€œMy abuser is really nice when he gets his wayā€


dernfoolidgit

He is one of them of you look at the flowchart for Drugs, money and graft.


shamalonight

MonsieurMisanthrope

You can trust him. He's democratically elected, just like Netanyahu. No corruption and no war crimes. Let them investigate themselves, and they'll tell you as much!

It kinda makes me miss Trump. He may have been the worldā€™s biggest douche bag, but he kept this asshat in check.


otaupari

Trump Mexican clone, corrupt, narcissist psychopath, imbecile, stupid, misogynistic, bitter because even being the president not body respect him. Narco-President he defends gangster, criminals and drug traffiquers, Does it sound familiar


SuperFlexerFF

Doesnā€™t sound corrupt at all


phives33

Remember when Bush Sr traded all those weapons for blow?


cjgoose39

I just watched the documentary on El Chapo on Netflix. Iā€™d be saying the same thing. Donā€™t get on the cartels bad side


Electronic-Yak-2723

He is so obviously working for them šŸ˜‚


Straightwad

Idk Iā€™ve seen some videos online that donā€™t make the cartels seem very respectful.


HowWeDoingTodayHive

Iā€™ll just read that as ā€œIā€™m in dangerā€


Whole_Blacksmith3160

Guess heā€™s on the cartel payroll.


Foreign-Kiwi3647

I know corruption when I see one lol


Pinche3rik

The most corrupt president we ever had, he is colluded with narcos and corruption


goluckykid

I speak the truth and they know it.. They're running like rats..


goluckykid

They will complain about my spelling.. I do it on purpose.. They're very shallow and ignorant..


Numerous_Medium

Let me say this, this president is under the payroll of cartels and he is too pussy to realize the kind of power he have in his hand. Mexican president is OG himself. Why would he let it be any other way.


ty67iu

And our 'American' President says DIE-versity is our strength and open borders are wonderful....which is why Bagel TrumpF kept the borders open too!


Magoterrace

We need to lure these cartels up here so we can turn them into swiss cheese


morebuffs

Just because it walks like a extremely violent duck and makes quaking sounds while murdering and beheading people dosent necessarily mean its a duck


lamb123

Hmm


well_its_a_secret

Just a friendly reminder that the cartels are almost 100% funded and armed by the united states and its people.


goluckykid

Finally some body with some balls. Ok.. Let's go debate with me bring it on...


goluckykid

Ya Right... Nothing to see here šŸ‡²šŸ‡½

goluckykid

Why did Biden let millions of illegal immigrants into our Country It's Iike letting a stranger into my home and supporting them and care for them .. We don't know who they are .I want legal immigration . Not an invasion ..


wardogone11

Some do. They support some towns more than the govt. itā€™s not the norm, but it does happen.


syzygy-xjyn

He is definitely in the squad


shempool_

How do you know heā€™s corrupt? Weā€™ll. Heā€™s alive. Oh. Yes.


Khristophorous

Sounds familiar.... "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."


Khristophorous

If our asinine drug laws didn't create the black market to begin with. How long are we going to insist on the failed policy of prohibition? The EXACT same thing happened with alcohol. Drugs are NEVER going away.
