In the cesspool of the modern internet, I would say El Chapo's twitter feed is just about the only thing I like outside of our own Biblic Judaism site.  I will post occasional translations starting now.


"A este mundo no venimos a caerle bien a todos, si no mandar a chingar a su madre la gente pendeja.
- We didn't come to this world to be liked by everyone, but rather to fuck over the stupid people.

"Un amigo es aquel que te da la mano sin pensar y no cobra intereses, yo por eso agradezco la amistad de aquellos que me miran con respeto."
- A friend who gives a hand without thinking and doesn't charge interest, I am grateful for this friendship of those who see me with respect.

"Respeto y admiración a quien se lo merece y a chingar a su madre quien se lo gane."
- Respect and admiration for those who deserve it, and fuck over those who deserve that.

"El problema es que la gente sabe poco, pero habla mucho."
- The problem is that the people know little but talk much.

"Yo sé quién soy y estoy feliz de lo que soy, me puedes juzgar, pero es cosa que ami me vale verga."
- I know who I am and I am happy with what I am.  You can judge me, but I don't give a shit.

"Ya todo es diferente, tengo enemigos que antes eran mis amigos, así es este mundo del narco, o matamos o morimos."
- Now everything is different, I have enemies who were my friends.  This is the narco world, kill or die.
(my comment - the rest of the world is basically the same)

"Hay algo que tengo y el gobierno nunca lo tendrá, me refiero a mi cerebro y como hacer las cosas para trabajar."
- There is something that I have that the government will never have.  I am referring to my brain and how to make things work.

"No me molesta que la gente hable mal de mi, normalmente los perros ladran cuando no conocen a la gente."
- It doesn't bother me that the people speak badly of me.  Normally the dogs bark when they don't know people.




- They call me a bad killer, assassin, thief, and all the worst that one can be in this world but I only hurt people who truly deserve it. I don't kill children, the elderly, and much less do I take from them what they need. The drugs are consumed by those who want it, and I don't force them. In contrast in the government, they kill innocent people to keep power, kill children, students, the elderly, rob their necessities, and after all that, they have a salary and call the president servant of the people, and the only thing that they do is serve themselves from the people. SO WHO IS THE BAD GUY, ASSASSIN, AND THIEF???

"Y tú @EPN no me vuelvas a llamar delincuente porqué yo doy trabajo a la gente no como tu pinche gobierno corriente."
- And you, President Peña Nieto (of Mexico), don't call me a delinquent again because I give work to the people, not like your fucking worthless government.

"Mi futuro está en las manos de Dios no en la boca de la gente.
- My future is in the hands of God, not in the mouth of people.

"En la vida nada sucede por casualidad, lo que haces hoy... mañana puede ser la diferencia en tu vida."
- In life nothing happens by chance.  What you do today, tomorrow can make the difference in your life.

"El que no es lo suficientemente valiente para tomar riesgos, no va a lograr nada en la vida."
- He who is not brave enough to take risks isn't going to achieve anything in life.

"Trump es un pendejo."
- Trump is an idiot.

"Mientras a ti te guste lo que hagas, chingue su madre lo que opine la de más gente."
- As long as you like what you do, fuck the opinion of other people.

"Hay personas que presumen lo material, porque como personas no valen nada."
- There are people who show off their things, because as people they are worthless.

"¡VIVA MÉXICO Y QUE CHINGUE A SU MADRE EL PRESIDENTE!"
- Go Mexico and fuck the president!

"Si sabes lo que eres y lo que vales, no tienes nada que demostrar."
- If you know who you are and what you're worth, you have nothing to prove.

"Nada es fácil en la vida."
- Nothing is easy in life.

"Nunca humilles a nadie porque que aquí todos somos iguales, el mundo da muchas vueltas ahorita estas arriba mañana quien sabe."
- Never humiliate anyone because here we are all equal.  The world takes many turns.  Now you are on top, but tomorrow who knows.

"A veces me pongo a ver las Noticias o a leer periódicos para ver si ya me mataron o para ver donde me buscan o a ver que cosa inventan."
- Sometimes I watch the news or read the newspapers to see if they have killed me yet or to see where they are looking for me or to see what things they make up.

"Este mundo es bonito, la gente es la que vale verga."
- This world is beautiful.  It's the people who are shit.

"Aunque tengo todo, no tengo lo que más quiero."
- Although I have everything, I don't have what I want most.

"El hombre que dice que el sitio de la mujer es la cocina, es porque no sabe que hacer con ella en la cama."
- The man who says that a woman's place is the kitchen, that's because he doesn't know what to do with her in the bed.

"Yo soy como soy y quien no me trague, que chingue a su madre."
- I am how I am and whoever can't tolerate me, fuck off.
