On Fox it's easy to say. On the world's stage they know how stupid they sound. These people must be remembered by the stupid things they say and do.

They have no shame. They must realize they're saying moronic bullshit, and I have to bet their legacy is going to be the butt of jokes for centuries. Even if they get their way for the next 50 years, future historians will be confronted by the stupidity of MAGA and will write about it. I would be so embarrassed.

When’s the last time you heard about Holly smoot? That was dumb as fuck too about 100 years ago. 

We’re doing the exact same thing and nobody is bringing it up. Sure they say it’s stupid to tariff but nobody is saying we’ve actually been down those road like 4 times in 250 years

Because Holly Smoot sound like a chick I met on spring break.

Dave Barry guaranteed I'll never forget Hawley-Smoot. Or Samuel Gompers. Gompers, Gompers, Gompers!

It’s two different people. Hawley and smoot. We’re both right albeit my spelling is dog shit. Happy Friday!

Obviously it’s two different lawmakers who introduced the bill. Jesus don’t they teach anything other than clip of a movie with Ben Stein. Most bills are named after lawmakers.

Edit: Another famous example of this is Sarbox - Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D–MD) and Rep. Michael G. Oxley (R–OH-4), the co-sponsors of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act

There are almost no modern examples of naming a bill after its sponsors but I understand the historical significance of your point.

I haven’t thought about it - I guess Dodd-Frank would be the most recent in what 2010?
