Some believe Trump is eyeing the 2020 election, with the swing state of Florida home to many Cuban-American exiles who welcome the harder line on Havana.

I think the above words pretty much sum up the situation. More so than ever, pretty much all of Trumps decisions are predicated on winning the throne for a second term.

NOTE TO SELF: Time to change your old ways. Don't intervene. Don't try to help. Will probably be injurious to self.

Sad but true.

Two heads are better than one. Five X even better.

FFP needs to make noise and lots of it. This is what they are doing, quite effectively.

Charging Thanathorn may just further his cause and strengthen any future protests.

He is a man of great resolve, as he has already proved.

With political unrest on the horizon, unquestionably, a foreigner company would feel considerably uneasy with the idea of investing in Thailand.

Tourism is also quite likely to take a hit.

Today, Sunday, there are no doubt some pretty serious strategy sessions going on. Two main ones but many other ones too.

One group will be pulling at their coloured hair (what's left of it).

Prayut has more guns.

Protestors have more cameras and social media reach !

Over reaction. He put his bottle down, quite likely near to a few others and many of those plastic drinks containers with a bubble on the top. I even recall a post here on TV condoning the idea of leaving bottles, cans etc on the ground as scavengers often come by to pick them up. 

That's how little piles of garbage become BIG piles of garbage.

If to be a copy-cat, I'd rather see people copy those who take responsibility for their own garbage.

It's yours, take it with you if no garbage bin available. Be a good guest.

Sad.

They failed to use the "buddy" system.

=, Pheu Thai come FIRST. But Prayut is PM. 

First and third work together. BUT Preyut is PM.

Why? 

Won 87/500 place. Is the PM. Why?

 

if Prayut go to olympics, cheating, then come second, he will take the gold medal!

 

Prayut would cheat at Olympics just like Russians did.

But wait !!!

Russians got thrown out for cheating.

This is proper for people who win by cheating. Throw them out.

I support big P if big P deprecate the baht to 1usd vs 33baht.

Surely you are just joking. Otherwise, you are as selfish and self serving as one can get.

I, and I'm sure many others, are more concerned about the welfare of the Thai people in general rather than just how many baht we get for our foreign buck.

Thais are the worst at just leaving rubbish on the pavement. They really need a massive advertising campaign and more bins

I agree with you on 2 out of 3 points.

1) Thais are bad at garbage disposal.

2) More bins are needed.

3) Can't see the need for "a massive advertising campaign". We all know better, especially us from western countries.

I view the Israeli as being grossly negligent. I, and I bet many others, have carried my refuse all the way back to my accommodation if there was nowhere to dispose of it (most often the case).

Wouldn't it be great if Thailand would have real grassroot movement from (relative) poor people for poor people?

At last I had enough from Billionaires who claim they only work in politics to make life better for the poor...

Ahh, come on. Don't be so cynical. Unlike an army general who desires a high up position to enrich himself, Thanathorn comes to the picture already rich. Heh, he loaned $6.3 million (?) to the party.

IMO, Thanathorn is the real deal. He is what this backwards country needs.

The Council of the European Union on Foreign Affairs has already acknowledged Thailand’s political development, and we have confidence that the Justice Ministry will play an important role in promoting and protecting people's rights and liberties, as well as developing the country," he said.

What? Are they deaf, dumb and blind, or just self serving?

I liken this movement to the adage "to big to fail".

I think the "government" would be hard pressed to do anything too blatant and too stupid in an effort to thwart these protests.

Than's the man.
