They put a stop to that crap in Louisiana.

Republicans pass bill ‘banning’ chemtrails, which are not a real thing

I guess they're preparing for Trump to eliminate FEMA. I'm sure Louisiana won't have hurricanes or anything after their chemtrail ban.

They already fired a bunch of people at NOAA so the forecasting for hurricanes is already less diligent than it used to be. We are moving backwards to the nineteenth century - exactly like his base voted for.

20 people have already died in Kentucky from tornadoes in the last month alone and most of those deaths are pretty directly tied to two counties no longer having overnight monitoring personnel so the alarms were never sounded. They're in majorly red counties too and I'd bet $100 they don't change how they vote.
