Can’t have people changing their names. I mean how would Rafael Cruz or Donald Bowman ever get elected? Oh wait…
Well to be fair Pudding Fingers Cruz isn't Ohio's problem.
Edit: As a commenter observed, Pudding Fingers is actually Ron Desantis. Cancun Cruz would be more accurate
He's a Senator from possibly the most gerrymandered state in the entire country. He's everyone's problem and accountable to nobody except the fascist GOP.
I mean you're not wrong (I live in Texas), but there is nothing Ohio state law can do about him is what I mean.
The fuckery Abbott and his cronies get up to in Austin basically ensures we're stuck with him.
Wait, isn't desantis the guy that ate pudding with his fingers? I think Cruz is mostly famous for fleeing to Cancun when things got ugly at home
And here I was thinking that Cruz was famous for eating a booger in the middle of a debate.
Cruz is also famous for the Zodiac killings AFAIK.
As a kid, I sucked at who's that pokemon. You're right of course, but in my defense I'm not worried about the specific lore of any of them.
