Where is Lipe ?

Whereas , tanks and soldiers on the streets and rounding up dissenters for re education is not intimidating in the least.

Or do what Prayuth was good at. Say one thing then do another. There won't be a coup I won't cling to power I will return happiness to the Thai people. Unfortunately , it's all history repeating itself now. Just hope they have learnt their lesson. Move Forward will likely not be around to contest the next election. However, if it resurrects itself again for the third time it will have to walk on eggs and make sure it is absolutely safe from any legal proceedings. If it can manage this , it will surely win a landslide. Even then .....history could repeat itself for the 23rd time.

A picture would of the scratches would help

This dog looks like the youtube star. Just search on youtube : ' Funny dog talking about coronavirus '

But what if , in this scenario , the voting pattern does not change enough to push the coalition over the finish line. A lot more senators would have to give Srettha a vote to change anything. And if that happened the irony would not be missed by anyone. Hand picked senators voting to help a part they overthrew.

Jing Jok Poo ( not to be mistaken for a martial art )

Hence the term ' He's a big drip '

I also did a random bit of googling on various generals on that list of senators. You don't have to look too far to see they have a history of suppressing democracy, freedom of information and speech. What is needed is an organisation dedicated to collating news clippings and freely available news to make a dosier on each and every senator and make these dosiers freely available to the public online. The people deserve to have it all laid out before them to see for themselves the extent of the machinations and nepotism they are suffering under. I think President Lincoln put it nicely : “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” I should add as a caveat that such action has been anticipated and to prevent it , last year a new law came into force, the new Personal Data Protection Act ( PDPA ) which stipulates that pictures and videos etc can be used for personal purposes but they must not cause damage to anyone.

Halfway there already

The list of senators and how they voted is no big secret. The results of the voting have been published in many news outlets. The voting was even broadcast live on television. The BBC Thai has a good video of Pitas supporters listenening to the voting. Very sad and many tears. For those that say Thais don't care they should take note. https://www.bbc.com/thai/live/thailand-66177028 Full list is here : https://www.springnews.co.th/news/election66/841046 As to how these senators make their money , that would be a more interesting link altogether.

Don't tell him Pike !

Oh diddums . Better get used to it.

Somewhat contradicting yourself.

I think everybody knows by now that serious street protests are likely to occur if Pita and Move Forward get sidelined. People have had enough . Things could get very ugly. Should another coup then occur to ' restore order ' it will wreck Thailands financial standing. Neither will a minority government with Prawit as PM be a happy ending a planned by the old school.

This seems a good place to ask. I don't like any lager beer. Is there anywhere that sells bottles of brown ale ?

I would like to dedicate this song to a popular forum member who I won't name to preserve his/her anoniminity.

The hand picked senators only ever had the one raison d'etre as we have just witnessed. Still , this bunches tenure expires before the next election. Who will fill their boots when they are gone.

Yes , you really have to check on the date produced before buying. I tend to buy eggs in cartons of 10 that have a production date of not more than 5 days ago.

They should persevere. If nothing else , a bigger vote for the reincarnation ( for the third time ) of Move Forward could result in the landslide needed to force the old school out of office.

To put it in perspective , 20 satang is one fifth of a baht. A poultry sum , even for a poor Thai. More serious is how the price of meat has gone up over the last couple of years. Our dogs used to get fed chicken breasts because they were cheaper than tinned dog food. Now it's just boiled carcasses.

Eggsactly.

As Sitting Bull once said : Heepum lossum faceumm . Thaksin talk with forked tongue.

Soi 6 Pattaya if the OP's observations are valid.
