Trump's real connection to Unabomber
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The trouble with is:
1) Epstein never attended UCLA.
2) He would have been 16 years old in 1969, the year Kaczynski left UC Berkeley (he never taught at UCLA).
So, no, it’s not possible.

But it's entirely possible that if Epstein told stories about the Unabomber to others, he told the same stories to Donald Trump. And Trump, ever eager to hitch his wagon, retold them, substituting his uncle as the source.

Fair enough. It’s not as if either Trump or Epstein are known far and wide for their truthfulness.

They must give the Nobel Prize to Letitia James or Gavin Newsom or someone else whom Trump fears and then he'll finally get that fatal stroke.
Quote:Trump told Norwegian minister he wants Nobel Prize
"Out of the blue, while Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called," Dagens Naeringsliv reported, citing unnamed sources.
"He wanted the Nobel Prize - and to discuss tariffs."
In a comment to Reuters, Stoltenberg said the call was to discuss tariffs and economic cooperation ahead of Trump's call with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Stoere. "I will not go into further detail about the content of the conversation," he added.
The Norwegian newspaper said it was not the first time Trump had brought up the prize in conversation with Stoltenberg, a former secretary general of the NATO military alliance.

It’s kind of weird that he’s pressuring people NOT on the Committee to award him the Prize. Perhaps he thinks bullying by proxy will work. I have some (admittedly sparse) experience with Norwegians - they don’t give the impression of being bullyable.
