Republicans. Even when they’re trying to help, they fuck things up.

“Performative pothole-patching for the press” has been a hobby of Arnold’s for a long time.

Not the first time he filled the wrong trench.

Well, I didn’t get what you were trying to say, but now I’m guessing you mean his affair… then if so, yeah, that’s kind of gross.

I know I’ve had a few teachable moments from Tamsin and Mindysan, for which I am thankful.

Terminators. Can’t take 'em anywhere!
He’ll be back, to apologise.

Honestly a trench sounds worse than a pothole.
Couldn’t they at least put those steel plates over it? I hate those things, but they are better than a trench.

No. They dug a trench. They did their work. They filled the trench back in. They slapped a temporary patch on top and let it sit. This is normal procedure–since they filled the ground in settling is to be expected. After a month (in this case, some weather delay also) they come back and put down a proper surface.
Not only do you not need a steel plate over it doing so would defeat the purpose of letting traffic finish settling the ground.

As deep and wide as that thing was, it needed to be filled in or at least covered/blocked. Permit or no, let’s be serious.
