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...

My hope the shooter is a Big Mac.

He’s not going to do any more of those mass rallies so long as he can get his narcissistic supply somewhere else.

He'll probably succumb to his lifestyle choices first. He might even get bird flu or a virus long thought eradicated. It would be really tragic if it was something climate related like his Florida home sinking into the ocean.

Gotta also consider the odds that he's not there for much longer anyway. The Project 2025/Heritage Foundation people got JD Vance in as VP as they wanted--he's one of them.

So I've been predicting since he won that the 25th Amendment will be used (if something else doesn't happen to him), probably not until after the midterms so Vance can still run for 2 more terms. They need to set up the right conditions before ousting him, which will be making him look physically incapable of continuing, like saying he's had a stroke or something. Congress/Senate has to believe it so they'll go along with it.

God please no. We dont need him to be a martyr.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

MAGA is pretty much entirely a cult of personality. Take out the Jim Jones, and they tend to go back into hiding. That's the only hopeful part of all of this is that when Trump finally dies (by any means necessary), I'd bet everything that MAGA goes with him. Or at least as a political force. Hillibillies are still gonna hillbilly, but without Trump to embolden them, they'll go back to ranting about 'libs after finishing up fucking their cousins and nothing more.

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

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

He is messing with rich peoples money now so I’d say that’s pretty risky.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

I was watching an amateur video of him, not 500 feet away, on a golf course a few weeks ago. What do the kids say? Cooked? The last guy who almost got him by a few inches was a registered Republican btw. Of course it's more likely that he dies to double cheeseburgers now. Sad that the ones who will replace him are arguably much worse than him.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

Unlikely any bigger conspiracy or billionaire will try. They could wait 3.5 years and not have to bother with anything illegal.

MAGA candidates don't seem to do well without Trump, so even if a republican wins it's unlikely to be whatever this is.

If he is somehow allowed to take a dump on the constitution and get a 3rd term, maybe.

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.

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

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.

Wow, it had gotten so bad, huh? For once, the market is genuinely correcting itself!

Not likely enough. There is already enough for his entire office to be the first ones prosecuted for treason but nobody got the balls.

a large enough mob could pull him out of mar a lago. i'm not saying it would be easy.

May the Lord look down upon us in favour.

Even my Trump loving coworker thinks he's psychotic now.
