#1 Crime ridden, government dependent urban tumors and multicultural 'sanctuary cities' really are the key to the development of modern society. You'll see.

#2 Those girls are planting your next batch of watermelons, so lay off it, OK?

#3 Who feeds you? How do you survive?
What is your real purpose, Barbie? When will you dawn your Burkah?

#4 Without the Electoral College, the small states would not have join the new union under the Constitution. There wouldn't be a 'United States' and therefore no need to fight a civil war where over 250,000 mostly white farm boys from the north would never have to 'give their full measure of devotion' to put the 13th Amendment into the document. Rural Americans are the reason you have a form of classical democracy, not to be confused the Ms. Reid's "Peoples Democratic Republic of" soviet authoritarian style government.

#5 A good famine or water, power and food can reverse those numbers in about 12 weeks.

#6 Yeah, piss them off so bad they decide not to feed, water and power your city. You'll be selling your own daughter for food and iphones in a month.

#7 because 70 percent of the population is expected to live in the 15 largest states in 2040.

I expect considerable herd thinning well before then.

#8 Reid appears to be missing a few of the facts:

Thomas Jefferson’s agrarian observations are scattered throughout his letters and other documents. “Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue. . . .” he declaims in Query XIX of Notes on the State of Virginia (1781–82). “Corruption of morals in the mass of cultivators is a phenomenon of which no age nor nation has furnished an example.” Jefferson and the other Anti-Federalists believed that yeoman farming nurtured a spirit of self- reliance that made economic—and therefore genuine political—independence possible. In that fact lay farming’s principle value.

#9 That's all old stuff that old white guys wrote. Like over a hundred years ago. Joy's progressed beyond that.

#11 Perhaps we have stumbled upon one good reason to keep Planned Parenthood going.

#12 First, it is a Republic because nobody wanted to be ruled by Pennsylvania.

#13 Univ. of Toronto Psychology Professor Jordan B. Peterson tweets "Those who have accomplished something as individuals have no need to be proud of their race." (not in reference to this story but as a general comment).

#14 Soviet urban elites felt the same way about the kulaks.

I can guess where Reid and her ilk want to take this.

#15 Given her probable definition of "democracy", I sure hope there's a credible threat to it.

#16 Being an imbecile Joy-Joy kept referring to the Senate instead of the HoR in her remarks. Population effects HoR whereas number of states effects Senate. She's a dummy!

(effects or affects, I can't keep it straight)

#18 Democrats know nothing about America and could not care less. They are all now cultural marxists that pine to make it like the euroblob.

I wish they would all just move there and leave US be.

#19 Back at you Joy. We feel much the same way about you.

#20 Probably thinks farms should be nationalized. And farmers should be employees of the government. So government can control them - and also the food supply. If it's not about money, it's abot control.
