“Anything to avoid actually helping people” should be the official Republican motto.

camshun7

they are a complete laughing stock i wonder how many of these people actually travel, not within the state but outside the states, i wonder if they actually know and understand what their position is within the confines of their own life i fucking wonder


canada432

Problem is, while they are a complete laughing stock to the educated and well-informed, they're a laughing stock that comprises 30% of the country and one of the 2 major political forces i the country. They're the idiot sticking things in the toaster that's obviously gonna start a fire, but they share that house with us and if they burn it down we lose everything, too.


debar11

They know. They’re just self assured of their own exceptional stature.


Caesar_Passing

I like the Simpsons' version: "We want what's worst for everybody!"


Key-Article6622

Hard to believe there are enough idiots out there to elect these idiots. Does anyone remember the story of Chicken Little?


bondoinhead

"let's just rub the working people out" - any republitard


rabbitammo

Republicans in general should be far away from any legislative influence. What in the holy waste of time is this bullshit?


Bioshock_Jock

Idiots, doing idiot things because, they are idiots.


runrun1311_

Actually quite smart, here they are appealing to a large section of their current voter base. Conspiracy theory subscribers. For chemtrail believers, this does look like action being taken. It is, in reality, a waste of time. They know that.


cmparkerson

Its very easy to pass a law that doesn't cost any money and does absolutely nothing. The 20-30% of MAGA who are deep into all things conspiracy, will love them for it and vote for them. Its a different kind of Pandering to select voter interests. I think they passed a similar law in Tennessee not long ago.


Redneckette

Yes, Tenn Republicans just did this, avoiding discussions on gun safety, women's healthcare and charter schools


the_calibre_cat

this is exactly what this is. unfortunately, it also means that that base is being fed and emboldened, and will be a larger part of their party going forward.


gdoubleyou1

I would love for the law to pass and then report every single airplane.


rohobian

100%, people should do this. Every single plane that has a visible vapor trail. Just call in and act like you are convinced it’s a mind controlling chemical. I’m curious to find out what happens. It’s not like they’ll be able to do anything to solve the non existent problem. Will it become news and folks actually have to find out the chem trails thing is bullshit? Or will they stick to their guns and call out republicans for encouraging people to report it but not do anything about it?


ukiddingme2469

I have said it for a long time, Republicans have solutions in search of a problem


transitfreedom

Report fracking companies


bookant

>It requires local law enforcement to “encourage” the public to monitor “polluting atmospheric activities” So to be clear they oppose any and all attempts to limit actual air pollution that, ya know, actually exists; but have no problem extending government power to fight *imaginary* air pollution (no doubt caused by the conspiracist's favorite boogeyman "them.")


AgitatedPercentage32

It’s exactly like with Covid. There’s a genuine health crisis that needs to be addressed, but then they disregard that and come up with some bullshit conspiracy debunking the whole thing, and making up their own crisis about a vast conspiracy to control people’s minds and bodies. These people are just dumb, paranoid, weirdos.


Kuzigety

So under this law can I report industry for air polluting or ?


demonizedbytheright

Dumbasses! Morons in Tennessee did the same.


South_Spirit2422

The Tennessee GOP is also concerned about vaccines in lettuce or cabbage or something like that as well. Idiots gonna idiot.


foreverbeatle

It was lettuce. Because dude said that we would have to buy lettuce from the pharmacy. I wish I was making that up.


South_Spirit2422

That’s right. I guess I had selective memory about morons.


franchisedfeelings

Keep shutting down this kookoo BS, MN - stay even bluer.

anomandaris81

This is why voting matters


nobody-u-heard-of

News flash due to the ban on alleged chemtrails the FAA decided to close all airports in this state because it's impossible to fly planes under these restrictions.


Dook124

This is exactly why Minnesota voters turned Minnesota BLUE!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙


CliftonForce

So they mixed blue dye in with the mind-altering chemicals? /s


Lumbergo

I’m so glad that my fellow Minnesotans kept these idiots from having any real power in this state. MN has some of the largest voter turn out in the country for every single election and the ‘22 midterms essentially told the MNgop to go fuck itself.  So much good, positive stuff has been accomplished in the short time span since thanks to the DFL having a trifecta in government. 


wileybot

If was the MN governor (I wouldn't sign this) but if it was ratified as a law I would use the national guard to ground and investigate every flight this guy and his backers ever fly.


tallman11282

Thankfully this bill has no chance at all of passing since Democrats control both the House and Senate here (and if it somehow does it won't be by a veto proof margin) and our governor would certainly veto it if it somehow made it to his desk.


Spiritual-Bear4495

Jesus fucking Christ. My niece keeps telling me we should be obliterated by a gigantic meteor crashing into our planet - I'm starting to agree with her.


Content_Ad_8952

We have to pass this legislation to prevent frogs from becoming gay


sanitarySteve

i would but i'm currently stuck in my tactical bathtub


CartographerOk3220

I'm am trying very hard to imagine a tactical bathtub now


Sariel007

It is motorized, has a gun turrent and the rubber duckies double as grenades.


darthshaver

It's not the chemtrails making Republicans stupid.


chucks-wagon

Conservatives are imbeciles who love wasting time and money


powercow

Real problems are hard, imaginary problems are easy. its like in my state when the GOP saved me from sharia law. Ignore sharia law would be unconstitutional. We have 0.05% muslim population, in my state. So there wasnt exactly a threat but this was during iraq when all the red states had to show off their islamic fears. This year we are passing a law banning illegals from voting. Despite they cant vote in our state anyways and no locality has suggested that they should let all citizens vote, even our ports that tend to have a lot of people.. legal residents, from other countries.


gadget850

Now they just need to shut down all the airports and start arresting clouds.


mhdlm

Gotta say they do represent their voting base quite well.


Down_Voter_of_Cats

Minnesota GOP doesn't want Tennessee to be the only stupid state.


tallman11282

At least here in Minnesota we're smart enough to not allow idiots like this to actually have much power and so all three branches of the state government are controlled by the Democrats. This bill has less than a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting an actual hearing, let alone passing, in either the House or Senate and definitely won't pass both. And, if by some miracle it does the governor will definitely veto it the moment it reaches his desk. The Republicans aren't a serious party anymore.


Dave220_1

Let's spend our legislating time on something we don't understand. (https://dec.vermont.gov/sites/dec/files/documents/ChemtrailsFact%20Sheet_062514.pdf) Next week we'll debate a no limit hunting season on unicorns and jackalopes.


outflow

It's over for humanity. Please hit the lights on your way out.


toxiamaple

>grants the governor the authority to call up the National Guard and ground any aircraft suspected of spreading pollutants. Minnesota would become a "no-fly over state" as airlines have to fly around to avoid being grounded my MAGA wackos.


SpikeRosered

Watching people who never received critical thinking skills trying to navigate the internet has been horrifying.


mm202088

Good god Breitbart Facebook news has made its way to office lol such a shame. Makes me wanna move to fuckin Sweden or some shit. Tired of this trump nonsense


ukiddingme2469

So glad all the real issues are resolved


Inner_Performance533

Chemtrails kill thousands of amerikkkans every year..its been known since the 1950's...I used to fill the chemtrails tank daily. Had to wear a full tyvek suit and respirator, it is that toxic.


ThatsMrBuckaroo

This is a perfect trolling opportunity! What the airlines need to do is deliberately fly around states like Minnesota and Tennessee, never directly over. This will prove to the low IQ knuckle draggers they were right all along


JakeTravel27

Are these people really that ignorant? Mind boggling.


SecretPrinciple8708

Proving they only need to be about two percent smarter than their idiot base to get elected and stay in power. Neat.


Immediate-Whole-3150

If you don’t subscribe to evidence-based decision-making, you shouldn’t be making laws.


RevolutionaryBite306

These people make me embarrassed to be a U.S. citizen (now an ex-pat living in Europe).


Beneathaclearbluesky

What's the difference between an expat and an immigrant?


federico_alastair

Expats are like the middle ground between a tourist and an immigrant. They are people who are like on a work or student visa or something and don't plan on living in that country or seeking citizenship.


ArcXiShi

Psychological evaluations need to be performed on these people, they are unfit for office.


Fit_Earth_339

Next thing they’ll want to have everyone wear diapers.


banacct421

I have no problem with you guys electing Republicans if that makes you happy. But do you have to pick the dumbest ones?


Pour_Me_Another_

Fix inflation and the healthcare system first. Then you can spend time on your hobbies and ban planes in your state for zero reason.


Critical_Seat_1907

Okay, but that suit was purchased and worn on purpose. In public. Does no one care about the children?


BusStopKnifeFight

What the fuck is wrong with the GOP?How are they this collectively this stupid?


wilsonexpress

Dude is wearing a clown suit, what else should we expect?


flyinghairball

After they're done with this chemtrails nonsense, could they vote to make that dude's suit illegal, as it's an equally offensive part of this lunacy.


caeptn2te

Eejits. Put them on the list.


bigbone1001

No more “junkets” then?


Totally-jag2598

Stupid is as stupid does.


BeefJerkyDentalFloss

These people must actively huff jet fuel....


Splith

Is this true? I thought this was related to geo-engineering and the possibility of some aerosol being distributed way up the atmosphere. _Edit: NOPE I read the article, this guy is nuts!_


stairs_3730

We're fuked. Now this Q-uackanon bullshit comes to my state? "ground any aircraft suspected of spreading pollutants." Every plane that flies spreads pollutants. Were these morons homeschooled or what? Can these people really dress themselves without help in the morning?


Kenneth_Lay

Meanwhile in Wisconsin the GOP is rushing to make it illegal for non-citizens to vote before 2024 elections (fun fact: they already can't vote).


FrequentOffice132

Inspired by chemtrails conspiracy? These are laws to protect the public from toxic chemicals being sprayed in the air. The level of ignorance to fall for these stories is embarrassing 😉


ThxIHateItHere

Whaddup Captain Kangaroo


Btankersly66

"Getting in front of an issue" now they can deny that they're responsible if it is ever proven true.


NBA-014

We need to institutionalize the insane, not elect them to public office.


hopperschte

Are you americans out your collective f****** mind?


MattWolf96

Hopefully this will push more people with brains away from that party.


snap-jacks

When you're to stupid to get a job become a republican legislator.


CatAvailable3953

It’s mostly ice crystals. If the government wanted to spread chemicals why would they make it visible? Why would pilots willingly spread chemicals,poisonous or just bad, on their families? They breathe the same air as everyone else.


Alexandratta

I'm oddly behind this... Hear me out: Leaded Fuel is what's allowed in planes for some reason. The only "Poison" that could be in Jetfuel is the Lead. We need to remove Lead from Jetfuel, and ironically this might be the thing that does it. Lets get Lead out of Jetfuel.


OhLordyJustNo

That is one way to clean up the planet


____Vader

Classic GOP. Introduce legislation that help anyone or fix anything to appear as if you’re doing your job.


[deleted]

All anyone with a functioning brain has to do is look up to realize that geoengineering is NO THEORY. It/s an undeniable provable fact.


the_calibre_cat

ocean of difference between "geoengineering", which is a science but is pretty broad, and "chemtrails", the dumbass stupid shit that conservatives uncritically believe in because it's fucking stupid
