There seems to be a good tale to go with the passing of a monarch, 😃. The Elizabethan age was fascinating.

That, and she is a rank opportunist, tuning her message to appeal to a wider audience in hopes of grander positions in the future. I expect her to run for Senate at some point, and she can't win if she is still perceived as a QAnon nut.
