[beeatnik]

In Mexico chingar is annoying someone (but in a very vulgar way). I would translate chinga tu maga a bit like fuck your MAGA.

No mas naranja = no more orange

I don't think I have to translate pendejo.

Correct, as far as I'm aware chingar is Mexican usage. Tho joder to my ear is the Castilian equivalent.

jajaja seems to be much more common, never encountered jijiji since I started living in spain. My girlfriend is mexican and we have a few friends from other south american countries (Columbia, Venezuela, Argentina) and they all seems to write it jajaja on whatsapp.

Jajaja in Mexico is the spoken hahahah. Jijiji is an internet neologism for hehe. It could be a regional usage but I believe it's common in CDMX.

Remind me....which side are the fascists?

(snipped from a longer rant and emphasis added)

KEITH OLBERMANN: The task is two-fold: the terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured at the ballot box, and then he, and his enablers, and his supporters, and his collaborators, and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs, and Sean Hannitys, and the Mike Pences, and the Rudy Gullianis and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barretts must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society while we try to rebuild it and to rebuild the world Trump has destroyed by turning it over to a virus.

i thought the concepts of "prosecuted" and "convicted" were not that of fascists but of the law and stuff? where is the sentiment of putting down the individual for the state here? where is the governmental show of force? im not seeing your point...

Which side are the fascists? The one's advocating and implementing fascist policies because they're currently running the executive branch. Really not that hard to identify who's who here.

Many people are saying Desperate Donnie, PutinsKGBitch is whining like a DOG!

Olbermann's rants are akin to asking for a shot of every flavor of syrup in a single coffee. Fun quickly becomes discomfort.

I need a translation for "pinche" that isn't Pence.

The one I recall is "sucky" so it may apply, but I'd like to hear others.

A friend visited the train graveyard in the Altacama desert and sent photos of one with graffiti that read, "Fuck you George Bush, this is how you'll end up." I expect there may be some dedicated to Trump now.

In colloquial Mexican Spanish ‘pinche’ translates into ‘fucking’, as in ¡Pinche Trump!.

Fascists are not immune to holding trials under the law....though the verdict is often known before the trial even starts.

"His supporters" would encompass anyone who votes for him, at least IMO. Leaving out the more controversial people, he mentions Sean Hannity and Amy Coney Barrett by name with an 's' on the end, so that would mean others who are similar. Regardless of your opinion of those two people it's hard for me to see what crimes that they have committed, let alone all those other similar individuals.

I think the most important takeaway is that Keith Olbermann should be ignored.

Sean Hannity should be ignored. At least Olbermann knows his way around a sportscast.

I don't really understand how this whataboutism is supposed to work.
