_Left a few things out. Here’s the way I wanted that post to appear._ [And the comedy rolls on](http://www.businessinsider.com/thailand-is-getting-close-to-becoming-a-military-dictatorship-2016-4). A couple of tidbits from that article: \*Army officers can arrest anyone they damn well please based on nothing other than their suspicion. \*Civilians are tried in military courts. \*Lèse majesté is still being used as a weapon against political opponents of the junta. And what’s the royalty doing about it? Well, not a damn thing. Here’s a thought: _lèse majesté_ is defined as insulting the dignity of the monarch; however, Thailand’s monarch has no dignity, as evidenced by the current situation in Thailand, so it’s impossible for anyone to insult a dignity that joke does not have. ---
