toenail Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Is there a "anti-Trump" protest or Woman March planned for this Friday or weekend in BKK? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect
Orac Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 If there is it would be illegal as it breaks the 5 person assembly rule - unless the junta approves it of course.
nottocus Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I don't know why you would want to waste your time protesting a democratically elected President, but if I hear of a protest I will let you know (I imagine most people would prefer to just get on with their lives though).
madmax2 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Why would anyone in Bangkok worry about whats happening in yankie land
BobTH Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The woman that organized the one in Washington on the 21st is a friend of mine and from my small hometown. Here is the facebook link. Sorry I have not heard of any demonstrations in Bangkok or Thailand for that matter but then I have not been looking for them either. https://www.facebook.com/womensmarchonwash/
daveAustin Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 With all that's go on in Thailand of late, you ask that. You would be arrested and quite rightly so.
Shot Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Yes, there is a DT protest/woman’s march scheduled for Saturday. The march will promptly begin at 12:30pm from Rajamangala National Stadium, and end at the US Embassy on Wireless Road. Attendees are encouraged to wear black, carry heavy signs and once at the Embassy act suspicious.
lovelomsak Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 American especially women are as stupid as stupid is. They tell the world Democracy is the correct way to do things by the people for the people. Then after special interest groups complain and bitch the wrong guy got elected. Bunch of spoiled,self centered, small minded,over the top reactionaries who when things do not their way it is the wrong way. Maybe a lot of Americans should grow up and get educated about reality.

Yeah, if only America was as successful and well-organized as Thailand, right?
toenail Posted January 17, 2017 Author Posted January 17, 2017 To the negative comments above, many expat Americans are planning marches/ protests in Cities outside of the USA, example: Paris, Tokyo, & Sydney. True, this has nothing to do with Thais, it has to do with the American community in Thailand that want the world to know that not all of us Americans support Trump or his foreign policies.

Thais become involved when you plan a demonstration on their soil . Demonstrations are not permitted in Thailand . Voters who voted against Trump have already voiced their opinion, no need to voice them again
Shot Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Last place I would be is at a protest with a pack of Americans, me being one of them, in a foreign country. Talk about painting a giant target on your back. An ISIS wet dream. Gomer
dageurreotype Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Yes, the US's Shadow Government reaches far and wide. They've already interfered in elections here, but believe allowing a 'show' of protesters beyond the pale.

Now they should shut up and get on with life. Americans who show up to protest are protesting democracy not Trump. Grow up and accept life does not always go your way. Democrat supporters in Thailand and America have a lot in common.Maybe they can get Suthep to fly over and shut down Washington. You would like that?
buick Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 this has to be a joke. and i'd suggest a rewording on the 'many' american expats planning marches in international cities. 'a few' might be more appropriate. and i'd guess less than 0.005% of the american expat population in the cities where they happen.

anotheruser Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I am at the anti-Trump protest right now. I can say that it is only me in my condo drinking beer.

TH He was voted in by a democratic election . So you are saying all elections till this one in America were legitimate but this one which followed the same process is wrong. America had their own way of electing leaders if you think he wasnot elected by the masses you are entitled to your opinion but by Americas understanding and use of democratic elections he was. If democratis had won same way you probably would be praising the elction sysytem now. So i stand by my statement it APPEARS more people wanted him

So i stand by my statement it APPEARS more people wanted him I never said this election was wrong or different then any other. I was merely pointing out that your statement "more people wanted him as president" was simply not true. Almost 3 million people more voted for for Hillary, so certainly more people "wanted" her to be president. Not sure how you can argue that point, but I'm sure in our post-truth world some one will find a way. Trump, himself, certainly tried it already. I said nothing about the electoral process and certainly made no judgement either way. You sound a bit defensive there, don't you think?? TH

Not sure about protest but there is a lunch to report on new proposals including ending global taxation for Americans. See info here: www.republicansinthailand.org

Jingthing Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 There will be a Democrats Abroad gathering in Pattaya to mark the ascendency of the baby man president but I'd rather not state the details of it. https://www.facebook.com/DemocratsAbroadThailand
KarenBravo Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 A demonstration on Friday is to protesting what premature ejaculation is to sex.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect I thought his foreign policies were to stop Isis , bring jobs back to America , secure the borders from illegals, and put America and its people first with gradurity to other countries second. Good luck with your march, just don't vandalis the place like your peace loving mates in the US when Clinton lost. Maybe you could organise a group cry sit down with puppies. There are plenty of soi dogs around Thanon Wirless.
Jingthing Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Thailand's laws wouldn't allow such demonstrations, so it's a bit of a silly question to begin with.
Luckysilk Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Loonies and should face the consequences of illegal protesting since it's against the law here. Carry on snowflakes some of us proud Americans tell the locals what a bunch of whiners you really are 5555555
Jingthing Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 This organization has been asking for ages: https://www.americansabroad.org/ I don't see the trumpist movement as being friendly to expats. It's much more of a love it or leave it crowd that tends to see expats as suspects, NOT patriotic, even traitorous.

nervona81732 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 This anti Trump stuff is all a psyops operation. It is government ( over reach ) Soros funded crap. I am in Falang land today and have been a life long democrat all my life but cease to identify with these zombies any more. They call Trumper's deplorables but these pieces of <deleted> are despicable commie anarchists who are mind controlled by media hype. I never want to step foot in this country of mine of 67 years again. I am ashamed of a good majority of these useless eaters. Let them eat cake.
