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.

Yes I know the cliche saying of “every president is war criminal” blah blah blah. But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat. Trump has -

  • Tried to coup the US government over election results
  • Sent ICE agents into cities to harass the public
  • Defended ICE killing civilians by labeling victims as “domestic terrorist”
  • Bombed Nigeria on Christmas 2025 (it’s unknown the casualty count), Nigeria did not attack us
  • Illegally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader and his wife, Venezuela did not attack us
  • Is currently starving the country of Cuba with no food, electricity or aid, Cuba did not attack us
  • Is spreading false information about White Genocide in South Africa
  • Killed Iranian Generals in his first term after tearing up Obama’s Iran Peace Deal
  • Bombed a school of little girls in Iran
  • Started a war with Iran, killing their leader, Iran did not attack us
  • Wants to occupy and takeover Greenland, Greenland did not attack us or ask for this
  • Inplements unprofessional and nonsensical tariffs on the Global economy

And so much more. Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist. No other president has caused this much global terror in the modern era.

A terrorist is someone who uses violence to change government policy, if you are the government then by definition you can't be a domestic terrorist.

The correct charge is treason, but I imagine getting a conviction for that would be difficult? I'm not familiar with the American legal system. The last time England charged a head of state with treason it was because he started two civil wars.

Oddly enough, treason is actually the only crime defined in the US constitution.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-3/

Unclear that Trump has done those exact things.

In any case, the executive branch isn't going to prosecute its own head. The next president might, but then again it's a real possibility that Trump might not live long enough for that...

14A3 needs to be enforced. He has disqualified himself

[–] Gnergy@piefed.europe.pub 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The problem with that is that he hasn't been convicted of any of the things mentioned there. People are innocent until proven guilty, so it can't be the case that someone can be deemed to have done these things if they haven't been convicted.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

14A3 is a constitutional right of the people to not be represented by traitors, that's automatic and doesn't need a full conviction to initiate. Especially because there's no inherent right to powerful political titles, the right belong to the voters. And that clause already specifies the remedy, 2/3 of congress can vote to pardon you.

All it should take is a finding of facts and you're out until congress (if ever) pardons you

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 22 hours ago

In a multibranch government then yes you can because Trump is threatening judges and more
