3billionaires:Which gets the model,which the presidency, which the sewer/prison (hint,Mexican)?!1

Last edited Thu Jan 14, 2016, 01:21 PM - Edit history (2)

No need to guess. 3 billionaires: MURDOCH, DRUMPF, GUZMAN. Each obnoxious in his own inimitable way.

* Do MURDOCH's spawn have *any* say-so on his marrying (diminishing the coin)?!1 And, really, Jerry, do you *need* that much?!1

* So DRUMPF wants the ultimate thrill of unlimited cash/power: No power but my (his) own word.

* Poor Mexican El Chapo. Doesn't a billionaire raised in poverty deserve a legacy-BRAT for a texting dream-a-lot mistress? Let's work out the dynamics: Her parents were celebs. She became a celeb. But like a Marie Antoinette, Dress Like a Shepherdess, playing at identifying with the Poor. She was a Star in her country, but now the Gringos know who she is. And as for Senor PENN, his ex-wife neva neva gonna give'em up again!1 What's bigger than an Oscar - meeting Hugo and Fidel and a poor cartellite. His actor-peers say any of them would crave doing the research.

[font size=5]Kate del Castillo Breaks Silence About El Chapo Interview[/font]

Kate del Castillo, the Mexican actress who helped arrange Sean Penn’s Rolling Stone interview with Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, took to social media to speak up about the recent events. In both Spanish and English tweets, Castillo wrote: “Thank you for your support over the past few days. Not surprisingly, many have chosen to make up items they think will make good stories and that aren’t truthful. I look forward to sharing my story with you.”


*** COMMENTS FROM GAWKER JEZEBEL READERS:

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]She is so full of shit[/FONT]. The way she praises him and kisses his ass in those texts is the number one reason why they became friends. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]She wrote him[/FONT] a public letter on Twitter a few years ago [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]asking him to “traffic with love” and help poor people in Mexico[/FONT] (he’s known for doing charity work in the state of Sinaloa). That’s how he contacted her. That’s how they’re friends. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]He loves it when people see him as a hero[/FONT]. Of course she wrote those texts, she’s denying them now because not only does it make her look bad, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the texts are embarrasing as fuck[/FONT], but that’s how she talks. She kissed his ass before. Nothing we haven’t seen before.

So gross. I don’t know why you would want to associate with people like that. 1) You’re a famous, good looking woman. What if he wants to have sex with you or make you his mistress forever? You can’t say no, how do you say no. What if he made her sleep with him? You can’t say no. And for him it’d be the best “conquest” ever because she’s famous. 2) These men are scary as hell. Cross them and you and your family are dead. 3) What about your popularity? You’re an actress, he’s the most wanted man in the world. She’s done in Mexico. She probably wanted to do business with him though. She had to want something out of this. Makes no sense to me WHY would anyone want to be friends with a drug lord. These people are probably a big inspiration to ISIS. They filmed decapitations and executions, and posted them online first. They started that trend of posting threatning videos online, killing hostages and enemies. All the shit you only see in Batman movies, they do in real life: blowing up buildings and day care centers and retirement homes, hanging the bodies of cops and other officials from bridges as a warning. They don’t just kill. They torture sadistically and leave the bodies there in public. They burn entire towns down. Shit that you don’t even see in the news because people would panic. Nobody knows just how out of control Mexico was in 2007-2010.

I imagine the attraction for her was the same as it was for Sean Penn. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]People who are[/FONT] quite [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]wealthy and insulated crave something ‘real’ and ‘authentic[/FONT]’, and for them stories are more important/better currency than anything else. They are like the tourists you meet who hate tourists and are always seeking out the real, authentic goings-on. It’s boredom, and if you aren’t an interesting person you may as well try and stock up on as many anecdotes as you can.

“Someone like that... we know what he does” - Don’t they tend to like, murder tons of people, over “turf” and such?

Yeah, I don’t get the people who are like “rooting for the underdog” with him. He’s just a loveable scamp who kidnaps and murders people!
