On Saturday, Donald Trump angrily tweeted his displeasure at federal judge James Robart, who had just temporarily blocked Trump’s travel ban: The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

From Heather Richardson, professor of History at Boston College (as posted to Facebook, and verified by Snopes): I don’t like to talk about politics on Facebook — political history is my job, after all, and you are my friends — but there is an important non-partisan point to make today. What Bannon is doing, most […]
© Matt Bors Maybe Trump supporters are angry, whipped up into a frenzy by conservatives that it doesn’t even matter what they have to be angry about.
