Kansas GOP lawmakers on Wednesday moved to limit their Democratic governors emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that they are an overreaction that is fueling panic and an unnecessary intrusion into peoples lives.
The pushback came after Gov. Laura Kelly announced Tuesday that all public schools will be closed for the remainder of the school year and classes will be held remotely to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Conservative critics have suggested that Kelly's actions suggest she might go after firearms and try to limit their sale.

(23,337 posts)all day every day. They are the customer base for our small business and let me tell you its frustrating. The last guy I talked to this afternoon called the whole pandemic stupid and an overreaction...this is just like getting a cold or flu. I asked him Lloyd, if I gave you a package of 100 M&Ms and told you 3 of them would kill you, would you eat them? Lloyd had no answer because I dont think he understood a goddamn thing I was saying. Thank goodness I had already run his credit card and the transaction was complete. Idiots. We are surrounded.

The GOPEE does not believe in science, math or evolution. Who is surprised by this?
