Gee⌠who could have predicted bringing on a GOP twatwaffle would devolve into idiocy?
âA conversation hosted by MSNBCâs Katy Tur about the California primary results took a sharp turn Wednesday as a Republican strategist called Los Angeles a âthird world, kind of poverty-stricken areaââŚâ
Did he call Los Angeles a âsh!thole countryâ?
2nd largest city in the country, 13 million + aka 4 + percent of America aka larger then like 10 states populations combined.
Its amazing how they like to bash places like that, but if a Dem would say that about some rural areaâŚ
The Greater Los Angeles Area and the San Francisco Bay Area are the nationâs second- and third-largest urban economies ($1.2 trillion and $821 billion respectively as of 2016), after the New York City metropolitan area.[16]
âŚ
As of 2015, Californiaâs nominal GDP is larger than all but 4 countries (the United States, China, Japan and Germany). link
Of course, when Shawn Steele said âthird worldâ he meant âlatinos and blacksâ.
Duuuude - your so right about LA. I mean, the median price of single family homes in 2018 in LA is around $600K.
Total sh*thole country.
I canât tell if this is some kind of Grumpier Old Men schtick between these two or just a typical republican asshole. It seems like schtick but I really canât tell.
Nice hat, though. Got to give him that.

Yes but they use less meth and opioids than Kentucky
This guy would think better of LA if only theyâd vote in favor of Trumpism.
And Repuglicans call Democrats âelitist?â
I get the feeling he doesnât like LA
Itâs weird how conservatives manage to simply create reality to make conversations more convenient for themselves. They all think California is a debt-ridden disaster on the verge of collapse based on what was happening in 2010 (when EVERY state was in bad shape). In reality they finally managed to implement the basic Democratic economic agenda and theyâve been booming since.
There are legitimate criticisms like the housing market being out of control or the tech industry ravaging the Bay Area but thatâs not what theyâre saying.
The xenophobes, racists and other RW assholes hate the diverse, prosperous CA because it works.
He looks and sounds like one of those old nuts who hang around, say, the racetrack. At first glance, maybe reasonable. ButâŚ
No, your latter characterization nails it, Shawn Steele is âjust a typical republican asshole.â
âŚand smells of stale beer and cheap cigars (or cheap beer and stale cigars).
Yes, exactly, and his dentures fit poorly and clack.
poor Sean Flynn
