the king has replaced his scheming vizier with a cat! this is surely some subtle move against the nobles

pfft right, like we should do the thing everyone wants that keeps winning elections

putting the "He" into Helen

yeah. I've lost track of how many times in Minneapolis alone we saw "mayor/governor says 'ICE sucks!'" followed immediately by "local/state cops attack protestors for no reason" and the mayor/governor is totally silent on that topic
