Parte 1 Monday – February 26, 2018
We open with Ernesto Martinez speaking with the charming Paula (Mr. & Mrs. Macbeth). He gripes about her arranging to murder a reporter so soon after he’s taken office. She plays him the recording of his phone conversation with Juan about the botellitas and this doesn’t go over well. He asks her why the reporter had to be killed. “Why not bribe her?” Paula tells him this woman could not be bribed. She then shows him the bloody bank statement.
He has a flashback to Juan showing him his share on paper. He’s surprised selling little girls pays off so well. We see him putting these statements in his safe. But he tells Paula he has no idea how that statement got to the reporter. He tells Paula to set up a press conference. He’s going to reveal the leader of the group of traficantes de blanco (human trafficking).
We see Juan on his cell arguing with some subordinate. He doesn’t believe the police are after him; after all, he pays them. He sees cops closing in and starts running.
Carmen bravely says goodbye to her grandchildren, while Eliza looks on sadly. She says she’ll visit when they have a bed for her. Carmen tells Eliza she’s not coming to the bus station because she would regar el lugar con sus llantos (water the bus station with her tears). When Eliza and the kids leave, Carmen wanders sadly through her empty house.
Sofía cries in the shower remembering Irene’s death.
Evil Vicentito tells Don Chente they have to go after Ernesto’s wife because their code is that traitors must pay. Chente tells him he’s still in charge and HIS code is to leave the wives of their business partners alone.
Ernesto comes home and goes right to the safe. Julián asks his father if he’s still looking for the paper that Sofía said he had forgotten when he left. Oops!
Sofía is sitting on the bed and Ernesto slaps her hard.
We see Juan running through the streets of Puebla with the cops in pursuit for a long and boring time.
Ernesto tells Sofía Julián saw her looking through the safe. Sofía is defiant. She tells him outright she gave those papers to the reporter. The reporter was the one who revealed to her what a rat he was.
Joel and the other Interpol guy, Patrick, convince an honest coroner to do the autopsy on Irene. They want the bullet as evidence.

Joel and the other Interpol guy, Patrick, convince an honest coroner to do the autopsy on Irene. They want the bullet as evidence.
Parte 2
Ernesto tells Sofía that Irene is dead and that a document that she stole was found by the body. Sofía: “She wasn’t killed; YOU killed her!” She lets him have it. “Those girls in the ranch were the same age as our daughter!” Ernesto gives her a political song and dance.
The administration before his were crooks and he can’t fix it all at once. He tells her they threatened him with killing her and his children if he didn’t cooperate (riiiiiiight). Sofía isn’t buying it. She tells him she saw on the papers how much they paid him for each girl. She says he makes her sick. Ernesto says there’s no wonderful utopia in which there’s no crime; he’s just trying to control it. Sofia: “How do you get to decide who lives well and who ends up in a prostibulo?"
Sofía storms out, and the kids overhear her saying it’s over and she’s leaving with her kids. Julián overhears his father say that Sofía betrayed him. He coldly tells Germán to take the children to his mother’s house. He then tells Sofía she won’t see her children again until she realizes that her role is to help him.
Joel explains to Patrick that, if they don’t help Sofía escape, she won’t give them the incriminating documents.
Speaking of the documents, Sofía cleverly doesn’t tell Ernesto that there are any copies. He tells her he’s not a killer, not a proxeneta (procurer, pimp). He tells her he’s disconnected the house phones.
In LA Max tells Jennifer that what he’ll give her as a divorce settlement is more than his father-in-law put into the business in the first place. When she asks if he’s having an affair, he tells her simply that this marriage doesn’t satisfy him. She threatens all-out war.
The staff at the Governor’s Mansion appear to be on Sofía’s side. A woman brings her a tray with a cell phone hidden under the napkin. She calls Joel and tells him he’s got to get her and the kids out of Mexico. He tells her to pretend to go along until he can arrange things.
Ernesto and Paula talk again. Paula wants to get rid of Sofía. Ernesto: “Like you got rid of the reporter?” Paula says people die all the time: heart attacks, cerebral hemorrhages. He reminds her she was the one who spoke about Sofía in front of Juan, thus causing a problem with Chente. Paula insists that Sofía was only a chess piece for his career – to give him children and popularity. He tells her that years of living together produce certain sentiments. She tells him his woman is her, grabbing him by the jewels. He tells her to leave Sofía alone or she’ll wind up like Juan – in jail.
Eliza’s boy (forget the name) is kind of a brat. On the bus he insists on looking at the video he found in his mother’s bag – the one Irene made.
A maid brings Sofía flowers “from her husband”. They’re from Joel who is working on getting her across the border. She won’t go without her children. He tells her to get the chauffeur to pick them up from school and take them to the airport.

Parte 3
Paula comes to see Sofía and tells her that she knows everything. “Let’s take off the masks. I know what you did.” Sofía calls her a vulgar criminal and tells her she doesn’t want to listen to the bravuconerías (bullying threats) of her husband’s secretary. Paula tells her that, if it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t be the first lady. SHE was the one who decided he should marry Sofía. Ernesto was a brilliant politician, but he needed to be popular. The two of them decided on a romance that the common folk would love. There were 3 choices. Ernesto preferred the actress, but Paula chose Sofía. She even wrote the scene where he showed up to declare his love at the beauty pageant.
We learn that Ernesto was a widower, and that Julián is not her biological child. Paula gloats over their publishing a photo of her with the boy in her arms, as if he were her own, that got them a lot of good will.
Paula says that Ernesto wants to give her another chance. She needs to pretend to be the happy wife waving at the crowds. When Sofía balks, Paula asks if her daughter interests her. What if the adorable Alondra ended up in the hands of those people. She could end up in China or Saudia Arabia. After terrifying Sofía, Paula covers her hindquarters by telling her Ernesto would not want to hear about their “little conversation”.
After this, Sofía calls Joel and tells him the deal is off. She’s not leaving. She’s staying with Ernesto. She needs to protect her daughter.

Wow, novelera, what a spectacular recap! I must admit I'm stunned by the number of significant things I missed when I watched. I thus found your recap not only wonderfully clear and interesting but also immensely helpful.
Several things surprised me. One is that it took the police so long to catch Juan. He's not exactly a track star; I would have thought that any young cop should have been able to catch him pretty quickly in a footrace, but apparently not. I also thought that the little girl in the building would point in the wrong direction when the police were looking for him. Nope. I'm also surprised that Max is still trying to get a divorce from Jennifer. Since his marriage to Jennifer is bigamous, I would think he doesn't need a divorce. He said he had talked with a lawyer--wouldn't the lawyer have told him this?

I realized I forgot to write something. Jennifer has followed Max to the house he's having remodeled for Eliza. After he drives off she goes up to the door and asks the attractive guy doing the remodeling if the house is for sale. He informs her that the house is not for sale and that the family, with two children, is arriving soon.

Novelera: I'm expecting Deborah Sanders 2.0 to be upping the ante against Eliza & her kids BIGLY.
I'm pulling for Jennifer in this one.

excellent recap novelera, you are so good at this!
Grabriel Porras is such a fine actor, he could very well be a politician, loved the way he told Sofia, while she was locked in the house, to work on her speech for an event the next day, and btw, he had the phones disconnected so as not to be a distraction.
interesting that Joel had delivered violets, as in the story he told Sofia earlier of his sister throwing violets into the ocean to honor their parents who disappeared on a plane flight.
I was disappointed Sofia caved to Paula, but then the way Paula put it, taking Ernesto out of the loop, if the ruthless guys doing the kidnapping found out it was her, you could imagine what they would do.
and then the kids did start to watch the CD, pics of their dad and was that a pic of Irene?
so the story starts with both Eliza and Sofia crossing the wall, then went back a week, hmm...

deb, thanks for mentioning Joel and the violets. I was trying to remember where they had been mentioned before, and now I know.
I think what Eliza's kids saw on the DVD was a photo that included the Governor, Ernesto. They also saw a photo of one of the kidnapped girls. At that point, Eliza wakes up and takes back the DVD.
Paula really is a piece of work. In many ways, she seems worse than Ernesto, and that's saying something.

Halimacandy, yep! Your boy Gabriel is a baddie. But he's sort of a cool and maybe conflicted baddie in this one. Did you see La Reina del Sur? He was a horrible baddie in that one - a rapist and murderer. Gabriel is one of my favorites also. He's been terrific in every novela I've seen him in: Bajo el Mismo Cielo; El Señor de Los Cielos; La Casa de al Lado and Madre Luna.

Al otro lado del muro - Capítulo 5/1
Eliza and her children are on the bus headed to the United States. They pass a wall on which someone has written "On this side, too, there are dreams." Tomas asks whether the wall is there so that the poor can't enter.
Max is supposed to be meeting Eliza at the bus station, but instead he's arguing with Jennifer. She tells him "I know you want a divorce because you have another family. How could you?" She accuses him of deserting their son Charlie. Max claims he'll always be Charlie's father. He also tells her that he wasn't unfaithful to her, but just the reverse: he was already married when he met Jennifer. Jennifer then accuses him, perhaps correctly, of having married her por interés (for her money, for her father's business, etc.) She threatens to bring him down (Te voy a hundir). Charlie sees them arguing and suddenly collapses. They rush him to the hospital.
Sofia and Ernesto attend a reception. Joel attends in disguise. He tells Sofia that he's trying to prevent her from making the worst mistake of her life (i.e., by staying with Ernesto and making it seem that all is well). Joel tells her to imagine how she'll feel when she sees a photo of the next kidnapped girl. "You have to leave, you have to act now." Ernesto sees Sofia talking to a strange man (the disguised Joel) and comes over. Joel says his name is Ortega, and he heaps praise on Ernesto for the wonderful work he has been doing. He says that he and his partners want to contribute to the noble cause, the rights of children, and he hands Ernesto a check. After Ernesto leaves, Joel tells Sofia that he'll come for her and her daughter tonight. Sofia asks about Julian. Ernesto tells her Julian is more complicated. She doesn't want to leave Julian with Ernesto.
Steve comes to the hospital. Max tells him that Jennifer has followed him and found out about the house he has bought for Eliza and the children. Max also says he is supposed to meet Eliza at the bus station, but he can't leave right now because of Charlie. He asks Steve to go meet Eliza's bus and tell her he's had an emergency to deal with and will be delayed. He gives Steve an envelope with money and directions. Steve is reluctant to get involved, but he finally agrees.
Sofia asks German to help her escape. He's willing to do this. He tells Sofia's bodyguards that he's just heard from the boss, and they're to go right away to the governor's palace. It's urgent. They're a little suspicious, but they finally leave.
Steve apparently arrives at the bus station and parks the car, but he's immediately attacked by three hoodlums who beat him up very badly and take his money and his car. It's not clear that he's alive. The last we see of him, he's lying on the sidewalk unconscious with a pool of blood around his head.
Joel pulls a gun on Mario Reyes, who was going to pick up Ernesto's kids from school. He forces Reyes to bring the kids to the motel(?) where Sofia and German are waiting. After the kids arrive, Joel overpowers Reyes, puts him in the trunk of the car, and hands him over to his boss, who is not pleased that Joel is violating protocol. Joel says the boss just has to keep Reyes away from the action for a few hours. Joel then leaves. The boss eventually goes to free Reyes from the trunk of the car. Of course, Reyes overpowers him, knocks him out, takes his wallet, drives off, and calls Ernesto to let him know that his wife is with an Interpol agent and plans to flee the country.

Sofia asks German to help her escape. He's willing to do this. He tells Sofia's bodyguards that he's just heard from the boss, and they're to go right away to the governor's palace. It's urgent. They're a little suspicious, but they finally leave.
Steve apparently arrives at the bus station and parks the car, but he's immediately attacked by three hoodlums who beat him up very badly and take his money and his car. It's not clear that he's alive. The last we see of him, he's lying on the sidewalk unconscious with a pool of blood around his head.
Joel pulls a gun on Mario Reyes, who was going to pick up Ernesto's kids from school. He forces Reyes to bring the kids to the motel(?) where Sofia and German are waiting. After the kids arrive, Joel overpowers Reyes, puts him in the trunk of the car, and hands him over to his boss, who is not pleased that Joel is violating protocol. Joel says the boss just has to keep Reyes away from the action for a few hours. Joel then leaves. The boss eventually goes to free Reyes from the trunk of the car. Of course, Reyes overpowers him, knocks him out, takes his wallet, drives off, and calls Ernesto to let him know that his wife is with an Interpol agent and plans to flee the country.
Lado - Cap. 5/2
Juan Estevez is being held in jail. He demands to see Ernesto. Ernesto comes. Estevez is furious at Ernesto's betrayal. "You are governor thanks to me." He tells Ernesto that the Texan is going to rip him to shreds. Ernesto reminds him about the game of chess. There are pieces that attack and pieces that defend, but the most important thing is to be able to sacrifice for the king. The Texan, too, knows chess, says Ernesto. He knows how to protect the king. In fact, Ernesto tells Juan, the Texan said "we have to shut Juan up." Ernesto then tells Juan, "You're going to plead guilty. If you do, you'll serve a few years and then go off to Spain to enjoy your retirement. If you don't plead guilty, I'll change you to another cell where there are assassins and rapists who know how to welcome pederasts. It's your decision." Juan's response to Ernesto echoes Jennifer's to Max: Te voy a hundir.
Max and Jennifer try unsuccessfully to get much information about Charlie's condition from the doctor. There's apparently a problem with Charlie's blood. Jennifer asks whether it's leukemia. The doctor says they aren't yet sure what the problem is, and she shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Eliza and her children are still waiting at the bus station. Eliza is quite nervous. Max has told her that Los Angeles is a dangerous place; could something have happened to him? Tomas underscores Eliza's concern by reporting that he just saw someone beaten up, and the police and ambulances came, just like in the movies. (It's possible Tomas saw Steve's beating.) Eliza is also nervous because apparently her phone service won't work in the United States, and to make matters worse, she doesn't know English.
Some greasy looking guy comes to see Paula. They seem to know each other well, but I have no idea who he is. He tells Paula about Juan Estevez, and also says that he has heard that Sofia is the informer.
Sofia and her children are in the motel room. Germán says goodbye. Sofia and Alondra bid him goodbye very warmly. Julian just sulks. Sofia asks Germán whether he will be OK. He says he has family in Mexico City, and he should be be able to disappear. He leaves. Julian continues to sulk. He manages to take Sofia's phone and calls his father to say that Sofia has kidnapped them. He then returns to the room. The cell phone rings. Sofia looks for it. Julian hands it to her. Joel is calling to say that he's on his way, he has their passports, and the plane is ready. A few minutes later, Sofia opens the door. Oops--it's Ernesto, not Joel.

Thanks so much, Juanita. Terrific and very thorough recap! We now know why Max didn't pick up his wife and children. I think Steve is dead.
We are meant to despise Julián, but I'm trying to have a little sympathy for him. His father is his hero. He has no idea about the crimes. And, however good of a mother Sofía has been to him, she IS a step-mother. I suppose he'll turn out to be a cold-hearted stooge of his father as time goes on.
I had another desire to scream at my TV when Patrick let the evil henchman of Don Chente out of the trunk. We telenovela veterans can see plot points coming from a mile away.
I hope Germán will be all right.
I'm certainly eager to see how Sofía manages to get over the wall, as shown in the first episode, considering that Ernesto is on to her wish to leave him.
Wow! Kudos to Gabriel for the fine acting in his scene with Juan at the jail. Loved the chess analogy. I assume what he said was true, that the Texan was on his side.
I am definitely wondering what's going to happen with Eliza and the children. Max truly does love her, and true love usually works out in these shows. But she surely won't be ready to forgive a second wife and a child in the US.

Watched two episodes last night. My response was "meh". It's an interesting concept. Two children are separated by their parents being murdered. Apparently, like every character in the 10:00 PM Telemundo time slot, they were involved in the drug trade. One child becomes a policeman; the other child is apparently taken by one of her parents' killers.
I am curious about what Roxana said to her brother (whom she doesn't know is her brother) about being given to cruel people at age 5 and then prostituted at 12. Could be true, I suppose. But her brother (sorry, can't remember any characters' names except for Roxana) didn't believe her. And she certainly seems to be accustomed to the good life. To me it seems more logical that she grew up in a cartel and is part of the whole scheme
It was interesting to see the brother of El Señor as an obsessed policeman.
So Roxana says she's innocent. Hmmmm. Does an innocent person beat up a cab driver in order to escape from being arrested for money laundering?
Anyway, I probably won't continue with this one. Telenovelas in which about half the program involves dozens of people shooting assault rifles at each other don't do it for me any more. I assume narconovelas get ratings and that's why there are so many. I know that this is actually the reality in Mexico, but it's hard to watch.

thanks so much Juanita, you are a dear!
let's see,
Steve had a flight to Spain where he was going to surprise his wife and kid, maybe reunite with them, and came to say his goodbyes when he got sucked in, Jennifer saw the envelope exchange and I thought she was going to follow him, but she just ranted on him, and we hear that when Steve's mother died his father brought him to live with the other family where the humiliated Jennifer treated him like a bastard.
when Joel pulled a gun on the henchman he said you don't know who I am, but Joel did, he is part of the cartel gang but has worked his way into the governor's staff as the cartel boss' eyes and ears, I think it's the cartel boss he calls when he escapes, and tips him about interpol Joel.
so it was Julian that tipped off his dad, hmm, maybe Sofia can explain it away by saying she just wanted to see her kids.
at the bus station we hear sirens and Karina asks if they are coming for them, but where is Tomas, he was outside checking it out and I think he said the guy was dead.
I think Joel was going to kill the cartel guy, he knows too much, but Sofia toned him down, interesting that Joel's boss added they are out of their jurisdiction and not authorized to arrest anyone.
the mystery guy drooling over Paula, from what he was saying I'm guessing he is the cartel boss' son who interrogated Juan, or beat on him anyway.

Deb, you're right! The mystery guy is Vicentito, the son of Don Chente. He's a classic telenovela psychopath. And classic telenovela psychopaths are always inappropriate with women who have status and rapists with women who don't have status.

novelera, hmm, I'm kind of thinking Roxana is innocent as I think Frederico came along and plucked her out of the life she was in, and he has told others that he loves her and wants to marry her, it is he, who is the head of one of the biggest banks in Mexico, that is laundering the money, and she was just doing as he asked and didn't know why those men were after her.
but then again how could you have lived the life she did and be innocent, Alejandro thinks she is hiding something, but either way he is after the Professor and is counting on Roxana to lead him to Federico, one of his top guys.
the prison angle here is Guillotina, who we found out last night got his name by cutting off the heads of all of his victims, as was done to Roxana's parents, and she as well gets flashbacks when around him.
so Roxana is a bit of a mystery but I'm guessing that since she started the life at 5, they took the fight out of her, and she has learned to survive by other ways.

I have always liked Guillermo Quintanilla (Guillotina) and have seen him play good guys. Bugs me to see him as a really bad guy. I guess his good side was his love for "Dulcita".
Another thing I didn't like about the novela was the portrayal of apparently all women prisoners as predatory lesbians. Please.

yep, your right!
I find it really helps if one doesn't take these narco stories seriously.
ah but you should see this James Bond looking guy (César Rodríguez as Yahir) the Senator in Miami hired to kill Alejandro, that is if Luis and Vulture don't beat him to it.

Thank you Novelera, Juanita and deb. I finally caught up.
I'm wondering if Jennifer is the Roberto Quiroga of this novela. She seems crazy and desperate enough to do anything to keep Max. Does she really care about her son or was her pregnancy just a way to trap Max. Is it possible she would harm her son to keep Max? Does she have the resources to have someone follow and attack her half-brother?

Gabriel Porras is so good, I can almost believe that Ernesto has a plan to be a famous president of Mexico, to make the country great again, but for now he has to work with what he's got, and that he does love his wife and wants her at his side, hmm, did nurse Sofia and Joel do the deed?
Paula did with Vicentito, they can do great things together but first she says he must trust her.
loved the way German was hanging out to see how things went, and Joel rushing in to save the day, and Julian by knocking him to the ground, not everyone knew the hit was on Sofia, and now Joel has Sofia and Alondra at a safe house awaiting instructions, the airport was crawling with police.
hmm, but Ernesto went to Don Chente, no it wasn't me, his code is you don't mess with family, so what about your son Ernessto asks, he is a hothead, but would never go against me, well ok.
Eliza and kids are kicked out of the bus terminal, hmm, and with a pic of the house and the street name, they find it, the fix-it-up guy and son are working late and welcome them in, he doesn't have Max's phone number but will call the realtor in the morning and get it, call me if you need anything, what?, didn't the cab driver just run off with her phone that doesn't work here anyway, so does the house have a landline?
and of course Max leaves his phone lying around, frustrated at not being able to reach Steve, as Jennifer sends him for coffee, and I keep wondering why the waiting area is on the second floor while everything else is downstairs.
oh yes, Jennifer sees a pic of the new house, time to meet the other.

Al otro lado del muro - Capítulo 6, parte 1
Thanks very much, deb, for your helpful mini-cap. I'll just try to add a bit.
Ernesto tells the bodyguards (or whoever they were who accompanied him up the stairs to where Sofia and the kids were staying) to take the kids to the car. He then lights into Sofia. He tries to convince her that he's trying to make the country better, and he'll be even more able to do that if he becomes President. Sofia isn't buying that, nor is she interested when he asks her "Wouldn't you like to be the First Lady?" She finally leaves the room and races to where her kids are. Suddenly all hell breaks loose. Lots of gunfire. Joel arrives just in time to start shooting back at the gunmen. I think he hits one of them. He also pushes Julian to the ground, just before a bullet would have hit him. Sofia and Alondra get into Joel's car, and he drives off. Sofia wants him to go back for Julian; she doesn't want him near Ernesto, especially given the attack on his life.
Joel explains that this was an assassination attempt, but the target was Sofia, not Ernesto. The gunmen were some of Don Chente's people. Don Chente, he tells Sofia, was one of the people involved in human trafficking. "The attack was revenge because you damaged their business." As he drives, Joel speaks on the phone with Patrick, who tells him not to go to the airport, since it's crawling with police. Go instead to a DEA safe house off the beaten track.
After Eliza and her kids are thrown out of the bus station by the guard, she looks at a photo of the house Max sent, and she remembers his saying it was on Montebella. She and the kids get into a taxi who takes them to the right street, and they find the correct house thanks to the photo. Eliza gives money to the cab driver, but driver says the fare is $240. "But the meter said $80," objects Karina, translating for her mother. "It's $80 per person," says the driver. "And if you don't pay, I'll call the police." Eliza says something about calling 911, whereupon the cabbie grabs her cell phone and drives off.
Meanwhile, we see Max and Jennifer at the hospital. She says he needn't stay, he can go to his lover. He informs her he's not leaving while Charlie is in the hospital and we don't know what's wrong. He says he loves Charlie very much. "Well," says Jennifer, "if you leave, you'll never see him again." A short time later, she asks him to get her some coffee, and, as she'd expected, he leaves to get the coffee without picking up his cell phone from the table. While he's gone, she looks through it. I think she sees the photo. Oops, if Eliza could find the house from the photo....
Paula hears about the assassination attempt just as Ernesto returns. They talk about who was behind the attempt. Was it Vicente? Was it the mystery man at the reception? Paula tells Ernesto that he should simply have let the gunmen do their job. Ernesto accuses her of being jealous that Sofia is his wife and not Paula. He accuses her of having told Sofia all about his marriage and about Paula and he being lovers. "You were marking your territory," said Ernesto. "But you hurt the pride of a woman, and you know what a wounded woman can do." Paula tells him that she did what she had to do. It wasn't because of jealousy, she insists, but because she wanted to save Ernesto's political career and her investment in it.

Meanwhile, at the DEA safehouse, Sofia sees that Joel's left arm seems to be hurting him. She finds that he's been wounded, and she offers to help. It turns out that she was studying to be a nurse before she entered the Miss Mexico contest. (Who'd a thunk it?) Then she met Ernesto, they married, and she stopped her studies.
The discussion between the two of them becomes a lot, um, warmer. They finally kiss. Do they do the deed? We don't yet know.
Ernesto goes to see Don Chente. They believe each other, but Don Chente wants to know how Ernesto is going to compensate the Texan and Don C for all they have lost because of what Sofia did. We're talking millions of dollars, Don C tells him. Ernesto assures him that contributors have paid in more than that, and the business will soon be starting up again.
At the hospital, Max surreptitously enters Charlie's room. He tells the unconscious Charlie that "no matter what, I'm going to be close to you." (Looks as if he may stay with Jennifer.)
The next morning, there's a knock on Eliza's front door. She runs to the door, thinking/hoping it's Max. Nope. She opens it and sees Jennifer staring at her.

I hadn't planned to do a recap, but I started to add to what deb had written and the next thing I knew, a rabbit came out of the hat.
Please feel free to add or correct.

"LADO":
Deb: BPN 2.0 wants to pick-up where BPN of "EL SENOR DE LOS CIELOS" left off in being the most sinister corrupt President (if BPN 2.0 manages to win the election).
"Make Mexico Great Again" ROFLOL: it's a Drug-Lord's paradise.
I'm pulling for Jennifer AKA Debroah Sanders 2.0 here all the way 100%!
Juanita: You know that Deborah Sanders 2.0 is going to have Eliza DEPORTED & I love it.
