Attacking the press like he is doing is an assault on the 1st Amendment's protections of free press you know? Interesting to see a declared Libertarian celebrating an attack on the free press.
It's called criticism. It's not like he's censoring them or throwing molotovs throught their windows. Laughable point.

You don't say?
Donald Trump: We're going to 'open up' libel laws
Laughable indeed.

Uh oh he said something that one time. Attack on the first amendment! Sorry, no.

No more so then pretending like liberals have ever attacked the first Amendment during Obama's years or even now.

That's no excuse for such an absurd statement.

Cry me a river.
Just because you know liberals who are anti-pot doesn't mean that is a staple belief of liberals. Stop with the some to all fallacies please.
No he hasn't.

I don't believe I said it was a staple beliefs of liberals, I agreed with you that the left is probably more sane on this issue. I was pointing out how a large portion of liberals are against legalization, which the charts you just provided show very clearly.
That article seems like personal opinion to me. I saw an ABC report only a few weeks ago where they interviewed people from coal mining towns talking about how their industry was booming since Trump got in, how the coal trucks have started running in much higher numbers, etc. I've barely seen ABC say one good thing about Trump, and even they seemed to be praising him on this issue. It seems to me you simply cannot accept the idea that Trump can do anything good, to you everything he does is automatically a failure.
And these days, no matter who is president, coal is at the mercy of market economics. Coal’s No. 1 rival is cheap, cleaner-burning natural gas — which could become an even more potent competitor under the incoming administration. The probable easing of restrictions on pipeline building and loosening of rules on gas exploration and production would mean more natural gas reaching the market.
Coal’s long decline predates President Obama’s arrival in the White House in 2009. The collapse of the American steel industry in late 20th century reduced demand for the metallurgical coal that is mined most prominently in Appalachia.
In addition, utilities have been slow to build new coal-fired power plants in recent decades because of air-quality concerns over the burning of the other type of coal — thermal coal — that is used for power plants and is mined across the country.
I don't see calling out lies the same as suppressing the free press. I still see all the major leftist MSM outlets operating at full capacity, pumping out propaganda on a daily basis. If Trump was trying to censor their opinion than of course I would be against it, but I have absolutely no issue with calling a scum bag a scum bag when I know that's exactly what they are.
The problem is not having too much government. The problem is having too much corrupt government.
JUST NOT POSSIBLE

The average worker making the median worker's wage cannot compete with laissez faire capitalist forces passing legislation creating cartels and monopolies. What we have in this country is COMPLETE control of the government by corporations through lobbyists.

Technology should be use to free us and make us more self sufficient, not to enslave us (especially free us from an overbearing government).
In the words of Jose Ortega y Gasset: "Technology provides men the leisure to realize their true potential" This, then, is the promise of technology: a material world of plenty and a spiritual world in which we have the leisure to realize our highest potentials and the freedom to contemplate God.
Yet in nagging counterpoint to this optimism about the beneficent world of plenty provided by unlimited power is the suspicion that technology has another face. There is a world in which the freedom to choose and to control evens has been subtly altered so that there is less choice and less control. This is the world of "megatechnics," to use Lewis Mumford's apt phrasing, in which technology concentrates power and reduces individual choice.
you don't even have a source to prove this interview happened.
