From the Federal Register, seems appropriate:
This final rule adopts, without change, the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) we published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2013. We are replacing the term “mental retardation” with “intellectual disability” in our Listing of Impairments (listings) that we use to evaluate claims involving mental disorders in adults and children under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act) and in other appropriate sections of our rules. This change reflects the widespread adoption of the term “intellectual disability” by Congress, government agencies, and various public and private organizations.

I’m thinking some heads might explode today. I don’t want to be camped out in front of my computer all day, but I don’t want to miss it either. What to do…

Firing up the popcorn maker for the show.

We’re not looking at amnesty. We’re looking at allowing people to stay here.

Steve King is just not getting that no promise from Mr Trump is credible? Slow learner, I guess, with a brain like a cantaloupe…a cantaloupe that has been sitting in the refrigerator for three weeks.

You know what would have been a good way to do that? NOT rescinding DACA, jackass.

It would be freaking awesome if the DACA immigrants were allowed to stay. Once they are here, we can work on amnesty and citizenship, whether in piecemeal form (for military service, for example, or for agreeing to teach or provide healthcare services in an area in need of such professionals) or blanket form.

I don’t think this could have happened while Bannon was in the West Wing.

The reduction in opposition doesn’t explain how the idea got planted in Trumpp’s head, however. Who/what got the DACA notion planted in Trumpp’s head and helped protect it long enough for Trumpp to get behind it?

I have serious work to do, but can’t tear away from the clown cars’ crack ups. The rw media figures hysterics are particular enjoyable to read.

But on a more serious level, I have to wonder how this plays with the GOP members who are uncomfortable with the deplorable side of Trump, but have tried to play along because of… “The (RW) Agenda”. The one’s who pushed the Russian Sanctions bill, and more recently the Charlottesville decree (?). If Trump his selling out on a centerpiece of His agenda, why is there any reason to believe that he won’t sell out on the RW (Ryan) agenda? My guess is some new (not yet visible) fissure parts are being formed about now - especially in the House - and not just with representatives who are big fans of “the Wall” or big enemies of DACA.

If you have a smart phone, you could try setting up an alert for any news articles that contain the words “Republican” AND “Exploded OR Aneurysm”.

Unfortunately, he’ll soon run into roadblocks with Chuck and Nancy and then we’ll be back to square one. But it sure is fun in the meantime … . Also, I predict that C&N have his number waaaaay more than Paul and Mitch.

It’s a slippery slope, tho, DJT. If you let fly one smart, humanitarian correction, you might find yourself careening toward competent, forward-thinking, beneficial governance.
