TheFishman1 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’m not really surprised. I think the whole thing was set up way before he came back. The next thing I believe will happen after he comes advisories his sister will be back.

Kerryd Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just when you think things can't get any more ludicrious than they already are. Why stop at advisor ? Why not just name him as PM now and drop the subterfuge ? I'm sure the people won't have any problem at all with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 There must be a lot of other convicts in prison who would also make good advisors to the government like the activists rotting away on LM and Computer Crimes Act charges. Pardon them too. And don’t forget Thaksin’s pending LM prosecution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rape a country in a figurative sense by taking stuff by force if you are in a powerful position and nasty enough to do it.
