No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...

Just ask the Simpsons. They are like a modern crystal ball.

Trump diskussed the tariff plans in 2023. Billionaires agree or they would have financed the Democrats much more.

As long as he doesn’t try to make peace with Communist nations, our MIC won’t kill him like they did to JFK*.

  • That’s now a fact since the Kennedy files have been released.

If youre in america, even as a tourist a few states allow you to buy guns because you dont need an id. That means, lets say a european goes to georgia for example, they could buy a gun and shoot trump without problem, in minecraft of course.

FFL dealers can only sell to residents of states in which they are licensed to operate. It is unlawful for a resident of one state to sell to a resident of another state, without involving an FFL dealer licensed in the receiver's state.

In Australia that was the case until around 1987. No permits for rifles. Some tourist from Germany went to Australia, bought a rifle and went on a shooting spree.

My bingo card/wish list - Trump gets tied up in litigation/impeachment (first pres to be impeached 3 or 4 times...bring it!) until he is out of office (I suspect his Outlook is already set that way). Then, after, nobody says his name ever again because...let's face it, everyone is just plain embarrassed that it happened - (R)'s (D)'s, even whack-a-doo (Others ... independent, green, what are those guys that think that everything is transactional...forget).

Depends how hard you’re willing to try. (/s, for legal reasons)

pretty unlikely, but two people have already tried...

So i guess we can't leave cards off the table. Just needs the correct moment, and opportune time, which is going to be a huge pain point for any would be attempter. If there are any, they're likely to be like the first two.

Not to mention we would have JD vance as president at that point, and honestly, i have no idea what happens after that.

The Republicans puppet him into walking back the most insane shit while they continue destroying every institution they care to. Nothing gets better. We get slightly worse predictions about what the fascists in charge are going to do next, but it'll still be terrible.

I really hope he doesn’t. Trump fucking sucks but JD Vance would ramp it up 2 fold

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

JD Vance is a douche canoe who would ramp it up 2x or 3x and would likely do the bidding of whatever master he follows now.

But no one likes the guy and I doubt he could inspire Trumps followers to the same degree Trump does. Without that rabid core base his power falls apart. Without a true leader, MAGA will start going at each others throats. There are too many factions both held together and held in check by Trump.

Not enough.

There have already been attempts. Maybe the next one will succeed.
