Piichai Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 the expression on his face was nothing compared to the load he dropped in his underpants when he saw the army coming through the front gate armed to the teeth Perhaps you could give us all an update on sutheps whereabouts. He's got the cojones to face up to the army hasn't he? Miaow! A tad sensitive? Or perhaps you believe Dr. Pol. Capt Chalerm to be a politician and statesman of high ability, ethics and morals? Someone fit to be in a leading government position? Well, do you? Not at all. I just find it amusing that all the usual suspects who erroneously claim that Jatuporn was not on stage to the end in 2010 are curiously absent in their comments on the fact that suthep was off like a robbers dog at 11.30 am and hasn't been seen since I believe.

Bpuumike Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yo! dude the senate is NOT the legal government just yet. The caretaker PM has not resigned yet. Wake up please. What caretaker PM? Don't you mean the acting caretaker PM? Sent from my XT1032 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app You mean the self-appointed acting caretaker PM? Or appointed by a distant desert self.

rebelplatoon Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 " ... entering the residences of a number of Cabinet members, including Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung " This is will be a curious story to follow. In the meantime, one would have loved to have seen Chalerm's expression captured by Khaosod for posterity. " The army has also shut down a number of politicized TV stations, including Asia Update and Blue Sky TV. " Good old Khaosod. They fail to mention the highly politicized UDD networks that were also shut down. Likely an oversight. They tend to be so fastidious about these things. Good post scamper. Maybe, just maybe going to Chalerm s house had something to do with the weapons find yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This is the way I understand things as present: --The military, by declaring martial law, has taken over all security related functions from the civilian government, including the Cabinet (whether anyone believes they're legitimately in power or not). --AFAIK, the military has done nothing as yet to impact the current civilian government and the Cabinet, and their role in non-security matters (like paying debts to rice farmers, etc etc.) --Presumably, the fate of the current civilian government and Cabinet will remain in the hands of the Election Commission and the Thai courts, in terms of the cases against Yingluck and the broader rice scandal cases involving other officials. --If the military were to extend their control beyond security related issues, including removing the acting caretaker Prime Mininster and his sundry lackies, then that would be what would be defined as a coup. can I sum up - PTP have absolutely no say whatsoever in anything - they are effectively dismissed - everything is channelled through the General - the Senate and the EC PTP is in the boot with handcuffs on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
