!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...

Official death reason: assassination

Actual death reason: hit by a golf ball.

I hear he's planning a parade even bigger than Anwar Sadat's.

[–] tty5@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (3 children)

As much as I hate the guy I hope he isn't killed. The last thing we need is republicans having a martyr, especially before they find out how bad for them he is.

With tariff fallout there are decent chances they will not have a majority for a long time. After the tariff act of 1930 they went from having 14 seats more than democrats to a low of 16 seats out of 96 In senate in just 8 years. After that they had a senate majority once and congress majority twice in the next 50+ years.

Time travelers already tried and failed. It's a fixed point in time.

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

He certainly has a lot of enemies but I don’t think it’s likely with his upped security being President again. I still can’t believe we were an inch short of a Trump free world…

He should stand in front of a high window and contemplate the possibility.

You're absolutely right that, if he is, it will probably be an inside and/or professional job, not some rando trying to show off for an underage Jodie Foster. He's pissing in some dangerous people's weeds right now.

I would love to see it but the real change can only come from dems sweeping midterms.

There is a whole order of succession which empowers the christofascit VP and then christofascist house speaker, christofascist senate leader, christofascist secretary of state, etc.

There is a chance the cult of personality crumbles, but also a chance he becomes a martyr.

It’s a question that can’t really be answered until it can be answered

When the rule of law has been abandoned then frontier justice makes an appearance.

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 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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.

His cult will get him, I have no doubt. Every single one of those insane nutbags wants a piece of his fame, and thats a sure fire way to get it.

If it didnt happen last time, and a close yet unsuccessful attempt was made this time. My money is on, Trump lives to start harping about a third term in 2028.

If it happens, its going to be a gavrillo princip type of deal, the more planning that goes into it, the more likely the conspirators get caught simply for the amount of surveilence that goes on in this world.

if anyone is going to merk a world leader. its going to be something spur of the moment, wrong turn, wrong person, wrong time.

If he keeps pissing off China, maybe.

The left takes more of a peaceful protest and hope for midterms approach.

If everyone keeps practicing, pretty good I suppose.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Pretty low, considering the quality of the attempts so far.
