Mexico’s AMLO and Yanqui government too – Orange County Register

Voters elect a fresh face with ideals that promise to root out corruption and break free from the network of good boys’ friends – and then transform themselves into a good boy.

It can’t happen here, can it?

Oh, wait, it happened here, right here, twice, during the Riverside and Los Angeles sheriff’s races in 2018. Voters were sold a pig in a poke. with both Chad Bianco and Alex Villanueva. Bianco has links to extremist Oath-Keepers – and refuses to protect public safety by enforcing vaccine duties among his deputies. Villanueva is a gang deputy – and refuses to protect the public’s safety by performing vaccine duties among her deputies.

Sheriffs are very important in their districts. But presidents can destroy an entire country, or at least make it go away.

That’s what we’ve seen with Guy before.

And besides in Mexico, that’s what Mexican voters are seeing with the lapsed term of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who looks like a former Guy dressed as Bernie Sanders.

Bernie-Bro made famous as the leftist populist mayor of Mexico City, AMLO as president is driving most Mexicans crazy with his lousy leadership over the pandemic, based on on mad denialism; with him destroying the country’s efficient tourism promotion budget to spend on the Maya Train on tourists that not a single tourist had ever asked for, in the Yucatan; and. It’s sad, and I won’t just hope for those in my profession, his evil laxity over the epidemic of journalist killings across his country.

It is evil, not merely ignorant, because instead of just throwing his arms around in despair – murder is rampant in his vast, poor country and only the president can do so much, in the face of police corruption – AMLO is essentially actively encouraging the carnage of the press conference.

As Kate Linthicum reported last week in the Los Angeles Times, AMLO “has long ridiculed journalists as biased, phony ‘sell-out’ who align themselves with their political enemies. His morning press conferences occasionally feature a segment called ‘Who’s a Liar’, in which he names and humiliates reporters he accuses of selling “fake news.” . Mmm, anyone else noticed?

But in our country, while journalists are not common among politicians or elite CEOs with something to hide, there is not a single murder pandemic dyed with ink.

Meanwhile in Mexico, in a very short year so far, 5 journalists have been shot down, one of which was the day before the president held a whacko press conference at which he became a famous journalist and claimed that the scribe was overpaid. only after the messenger revealed about AMLO’s son’s lavish lifestyle.

“This dictator has lost his mind,” the reporter later wrote.

Lourdes Maldonado López was an investigative journalist in Tijuana who was killed in January.
