Is there a lie too big for Republicans to swallow?

Evidence says no.

Well, someone posted a lie that there was an executive order to rename New Mexico to New America, and even though Snopes confirmed it was satire, Trump believed the lie.  And now Trump is posting a whole lot about renaming New Mexico.

Don't give the man ideas, people.

Well, actually do give him ideas, ones like these that are mostly harmless.  He's done plenty of things to kill people, maybe just keep him occupied on culture wars and monuments.  I heard on NPR yesterday that Trump spends so much time on his monuments because it's "like knitting", something to soothe and relax him.  So great that we're all doing mood maintenance for our Leader.  For contrast, when Mark Carney is feeling down, he simply heads over to the mint and dives through the coins like a porpoise.
