    Wait who’s the donkey in this scenario? I haven’t heard either country associated with them. Is it some burro joke that doesn’t translate well?

    edit: In the original Spanish- “¿Qué se puede esperar de un burro más que una patada?”. Is that wordplay?

      The saying is legit in Spanish, it can mean expecting something else knowing full well what to expect or as a justification of why something happened. The reason he used it, is the most permanently online reason, however. Gusanos in Latinamerica, not the cleverest in the bunch, nazipardos and other dipshits, call Maduro, ‘‘Maburro’’, from Maduro and burro. That’s it. You see it online often, and as is tradition with the right, they run their own unfunny ‘‘jokes’’ to the fucking ground.
