Lifting of martial law in Thailand gets the thumbs up

There's a storm coming!

The storm has been on the horizon for many years now. Whether by black magic or by artificial machinations or by mere luck, the impending storm been delayed but it has never abated, leaving the Kingdom in a type of political paralysis that has opened the door for a politician like Prayut to get his foot into the door of the national political psyche.

Always interesting to take note of the iconography of the photos of Prayut. The photo above shows his attendants dressed in livery. I am waiting for the photo of Prayut at some remote provincial airport with the locals sitting upon the ground with hands clasped together with Prayut standing above them surrounded by his attendants, and with his airplane in the background.

Well, thumbs down would get you the thumbs-screw.

While you're waiting you might take the time to look at similar photos with some previous PMs. Curiously enough both seem to be siblings, those previous PMs that is.

The daily dose of ......

I respect his bluntness (not his policy). However, under no certain terms should they allow that man anywhere near a microphone or journalists.

Every time he opens his mouth he comes off as a loose cannon who is about to order drone strikes on random people for no other reason than he can. Thankfully, Thailand does not have that capability. If they did, there would be drones crashing to the ground almost daily, which would be on par with their buses, mini vans, bikes, cars, trucks, and trains.

The reporter wasnt very flattering of him on the ABC news and not afraid to use that certain word which is banned in Thailand. Would give a link but that is now banned an here if it isn't pro prayuth.
