Trump will never win his libel case versus the BBC in Florida. As in a 2021 civil suit he brought against Orbis there, the judge will rule out US jurisdiction. In our case, most unusually, we were also awarded costs. We later beat Trump on appeal. The BBC can defeat him likewise.

It could've happened. Europe tried to welcome post-Soviet Russia, it invested in the country and opened up trade. There was even talk of Russia joining NATO at one point. All that was lost because he can't stop threatening or invading neighbouring countries.

🎸 This is the most epic thing you'll see today! 2012, Jeri Ellsworth created a Commodore 64 Bass Guitar using a real SID Chip 6581 for keytar and string sounds. When I first saw Jeri's video a few years back, it blew my mind and still does today!
