If we are gonna bring up Blake Hollar than we need to know if his daughter is still a junkie that gives blow jobs in plaza midwood for cocaine?
Still?
Ahh, it seemed pretty low key comparing it to Saint George Floyd. A crown and scepter are pretty bling, but nothing compared to a solid gold casket. And she had a hearse instead of a horse drawn carriage...pretty modern for a queen.
The real test will be if Britain puts murals of her up. It's been a week plus, and I haven't seen any in the news yet. With Floyd, the murals, statues, and BLM paintings were up almost overnight. I'd say Floyd may be more popular here than the queen there, by these measures.
