WATCH: Arnold Schwarzenegger fills pothole haunting LA neighborhood
Washington Examiner ^ | April 12, 2023 | Luke Gentile

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) grabbed a shovel and took matters into his own hands Tuesday, filling a massive pothole that had been haunting his neighborhood in Los Angeles.

The former Mr. Olympia and Hollywood megastar posted a video of him and several helpers using Quickrete Blacktop Repair to fill the hole and smooth it over.

"Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that's been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it. I always say, let's not complain, let's do something about it. Here you go," Schwarzenegger tweeted.

Schwarzenegger's video has garnered millions of views as well as the community's gratitude.

"Thank you," a woman said as she drove by the former governor of California.

"You have to do it yourself. This is crazy," he replied. "For three weeks, I've been waiting for this hole to be closed."

Los Angeles has reportedly received at least 19,692 service requests related to damaged streets since Dec. 30.

Schwarzanegger is the worst of the RINOs. Betrayed California and gave the state over to One Party rule.

the service depts nationwide should make the asphalt available so neighborhoods can fill their own potholes.

Potholes aren’t rectangular and the width of the road. Another article said it was a utility repair cut and they had to jackhammer out Arnold’s “repairs”.

Hole will be back in 2 weeks.
That’s not the proper way to fix a hole.

Yeah. I read this elsewhere. The city had to come out and remove it for maintenance operations. Idiot.

The city should have blocked it off or put a metal plate over it then.

The German Army had tens of millions soldiers. Very few of them were Nazis. Most were conscripted.

I wish when people called other people Nazis they could take 30 seconds to understand how that worked.

Yes and no. I get that many German soldiers were conscripted and weren't full of the venom of the Nazi's. But at the same time, if we completely excuse German WW2 atrocities just because most of the soldiers were drafted and/or gaslit from countless propaganda, then we risk modern day Dim cult followers doing something similar because of modern woke brainwashing and on the demand that it's required to keep their social credit scores up or face government blowback.

Most of those soldiers were indoctrinated for years as members of The Hitler Youth.
