The President of Mexico whined that El Chapo's life sentence is too harsh. You read that correctly. Reuters reported yesterday:
Guzman will spend the rest of his days behind bars in the United States after a judge sentenced him on Wednesday to life in prison plus 30 years. A jury found him guilty in February after an 11-week trial.
Lopez Obrador said at his regular morning conference that sentences like the one for El Chapo - “a sentence for life in a hostile jail, hard, inhumane” - made a life no longer worth living.
As well as his concern for the infamous kingpin’s wellbeing, Lopez Obrador criticized the violence he wrought over his long career, and said society needed moral reforms.
“I also have many victims in mind,” he added. “It’s something very painful.”
Lopez Obrador has created a new militarized police force to bring down violence that has spiraled as cartels splinter and smaller groups fight for territory.
Last year, violence cost a record 33,000 lives. Those numbers continued surging in the first six months of Lopez Obrador’s term in office, which began in December. Article
Not on the take, is he? Simply more proof Mexico is a failed state. When the police have to hide, the country has failed.

Sadly, Mexico functions much better than Mississippi.
If some scumbag had enough money to literally overwhelm the resources of the police forces protecting them, judges and high politicians in THIS country would do the same damn thing. These druglords do not count their money they weigh it. No joke. No jail in Mexico could hold Guzman. They couldn't afford to. Ironically it's all American money.

How so? Be specific.
How about functioning beaches 4:31?
Who cares what that communist thinks. Coming from a guy who wants to disband the federales and make his own private "volunteer militia".
3:50, obviously you haven't been to Mexico. Ever. Maybe you went to Cancun once, and thought that was representative - but I bet you only saw pictures of Cancun while eating cheetos on the couch.
Try again later with some more cognitive comment
@5:20, what parts of Mississippi have you been to? You may have seen pictures of the delta or the bad parts of all the “major” cities from your trailer park communal WiFi, but I doubt you’ve been there in person.
@4:31, the life expectancy is higher in Mexico than it is in Mississippi. I’d say that is a pretty good indicator. Do you care to provide specifics on why you think Mississippi is better?
4:50, Mexico has nothing to do with its beaches "functioning". That is a natural geographic factor, the country of Mexico has nothing to do with whether their beaches 'function' or not. Just as Mississippi doesn't control the ninety miles of beaches - except of course the sand part was built back in the WPA days.
You said that Mexico "functions better than MS". That would be the country of Mexico - something that the country controls.
Try again if you want to - otherwise, give up and admit you are just stupid.
"How about functioning beaches 4:31?"
Yes; In comparison, the Mexican beaches are swell. Unless you happen to be an American on a Waverunner a hundred yards offshore.
Yay!

@4:31 the life expectancy is longer in Mexico than in Mississippi. That’s usually a good indicator.
The Raymond Detention Center couldn’t hold El Goupo, either... actually between failed building constructions and Hinds judges, he would be free in Mississippi, too! Lol
Tommie Green would surely bless him... 😁
Listen all, you can determine which 3rd world country (or state) is better by looking at the citizens feet. Are their feet taking them someplace else or are their feet staying in the same place. In spite of what has been espoused as bad conditions here, don’t see many feet leaving like they are in Mexico. And those folks have no money but trying their damndest to come here.
I honeymooned in Playa del Carmen. Had to pay a Mexican version of a TSA agent $5 to let me enter the airport at Cancun. Scared the snot out of me. Incredible beaches at playa but I wouldn’t dare go back.
Mexicans are less than thrilled with their president, just like many American are less than thrilled with outrageous stuff that comes out of Trump's mouth. Meanwhile, Mexico is ranked among the top 6 countries with the best health care in the world according to the 2019 Global Retirement Index published by InternationalLiving.com. The US didn't even make the list. Mexico is also ranked as #3 on InternationalLiving's list of best places to retire. It is a beautiful country with world famous cuisine, incredible arts and crafts, warm and friendly people, low cost of living, and over a million retired Americans live very well there on their social security checks.
Many Americans and Canadians are living illegally in Mexico and use the country's healthcare system which takes funds away from Mexicans. Illegal immigration is a two-way street. Americans do it, too.
Mexico does many things well.
