Thank God Opebo has been banned, his gloating would have been unbearable.

What's the point in doing these coups anyway if they allow elections afterwards? It's pretty clear Thaksinites are a majority, and they're going to win any election, no matter when it's held. If they don't want that to happen, the only way to go is a full-fledged dictatorship.

It's becoming obvious there will be no elections until these people do what they came here to do. Or until they're all shot, which, with the tack they've been taking, is not an outside possibility. I mean this is only the second coup against Thaksin.

But what did they come here to do, exactly? My understanding was that they came here to crack down on the redshirts.

They came here to prevent Vajiralongkorn from becoming King.

Why?

I'm not exactly a Thaksin fan, you know. I just think the people's decision should be respected.

This is pathetic.

Meh, let's look at the bright side, at least Opebo isn't here to gloat.
