'Trump has declared war on California': state defiant as White House take aimBattle lines between liberal politicians and the president intensified this week as Trumps administration targeted cannabis, immigrants and the environment
Jeff Sessions to crack down on legalized marijuana
Sam Levin in San Francisco/ The Guardian Fri 5 Jan 18 06.00 EST
In the first hours of 2018, Californians toasted with Happy New Year blunts and marijuana gummies, celebrating the launch of the largest legal pot market in the world.
Three days later, Donald Trumps administration announced a policy that could allow US prosecutors to target legal marijuana operations and undermine Californias massive cannabis movement.
There should be no doubt that President Trump has officially declared war on California, state senate leader Kevin de León told the Guardian on Thursday after the US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, rescinded an Obama-era policy that opened the door for states to legalize marijuana.
The federal governments war on the Golden State which overwhelmingly rejected the president in 2016 and has become a liberal leader in the anti-Trump resistance has intensified in recent days with the administration threatening Californias immigrants, world-famous coastal shores, taxpayers and weed smokers.

I think tRump has shown over and over that he is the leader of the alt-right deplorables only.
Oh and his fellow class of 1% thieves and wall street hustlers that are looting the treasury and destroying the nation.
If you do not belong to one of those groups its full on hunting season for your ass in Dump and the rethuglicans tiny evil minds.

I assume the offshore drilling approval will also affect liberal East Coast states.
And Minnesota: How a Chilean Billionaire Could Poison a Minnesota Wilderness
Trumps Interior Department is reinstating two 1966 leases, written before todays federal environmental laws, that could allow a Chilean mining company to build a giant copper-and-nickel mine adjacent to the Boundary Waters wilderness area in northern Minnesota.
Beauregard's anti-marijuana campaign could boost the prison population leading to more prison labor and more profits for more companies. Almost as good as slavery, maybe better since AFAIK taxpayers take care of food, housing, clothing, and health care.
The regime is apparently going all in for the rape of everything--blue states first--in the name of revenge, profits, and stock market gains which may be enough to secure their own survival and enrichment.
