It's okay. Our PM (a real dictator - take that you wusses) is so excited he refuses to stand up lest we all see the bulge in his pants. His spokespersons* have literally said that now that we have someone in the White House whose not so inexorably wed to democracy and human rights things are improving.
Our guy's like Trump. Anyone says anything nice about him and he's their best friend for life. Of course, we haven't cancelled the Chinese submarine we ordered, haven't cut off ties with North Korea and still have tens of billions in Chinese rail projects coming in but now that Trump's become China's bitch instead of Russia's bitch, we're fine with that. Hell, we're Thailand! We're everybody's bitch! (Ask me about WWII, sometime.) *ETA: For clarification.... this is no statement from the PMs office or any of his ministries. It's from a purported independent academic who just happens to always come out with apologies/explanations for moves by the junta. |

I wouldn't be but I'm not Thai. Thai people have it so ingrained in their heads that even those who oppose the royals don't go there. It's kind of understandable with the current generation. They know nothing of their actual history and eight decades of the previous king, largely seen as the father of modern Thailand, and they think of lese-majeste as a slap in the face or maybe a kick in the balls. The current king, it's hoped, will do something about it. It's really a constitutional monarchy with the monarch having no real power, but with this stupid law as a throwback.

Chris Hayes on MSNBC observes that Trump Tower Manila is opening later this year, and showed a commercial where Trump talks about how wonderful it will be. Obviously Trump's business depends on this guy's continuing good will.

I can't help always being reminded that in the old Alien Nation TV show, "tert" was a slur directed at humans.

Loved that show, sorry it ended way too soon. BUT it never made sense that they ate raw meat - meaning they were eating salt water with no harm yet it was deadly/highly acidic like to them. That was an idiot move on the part of the creators of the show. Also applies to many other foods they might well have eaten!!! Also a problem with sex between the two groups - which is certainly implied a lot. Also if the Aliens get human blood on them in an accident. Really dumb writing!!!!!!!!!
