Sat Aug 4, 2018, 07:19 PM
Aug 2018

IS a disgusting, mentally ill pile of shit just like his buddy tRumputin .. Both of their skulls will be burning in hell someday.

Anyway ....

His real name is Maurice Woodside, according to a recent article from The Washington Post, and he has a pretty insane history. Here’s what we know about the man, who resurfaced at a bizarre campaign rally for Trump in Phoenix this week, and why he’s going so hard for a white nationalist apologist.

His Cult Ties:

Woodside allegedly joined a cult in the 1980s, which made news when things turned violent. Woodside, along with the cult’s leader, Hulon Mitchell Jr., also known as Yahweh Ben Yahweh, and 14 other cult members were charged with racketeering and conspiracy in 14 murders and a firebombing in the 1990s. It was also revealed that Woodside allegedly stabbed a man in the eye with a sharpened stick.

His Views On Obama:

In 2008, he protested a Barack Obama rally, shouting, “Barack go home!” and waving signs that accused Obama of endorsing the KKK. Today, Woodside is team Trump, joining a political party primarily made up of White supremacists. We don’t know whose man this is, but he really seems lost in the sauce.

In fact, a quick search on the internet will place Woodside and his weird signs at multiple campaign rallies for Trump, and even some protests. As for how he got a front row seat at Tuesday’s rally, Woodside reportedly told a Chicago radio station that he was the sixth person in line and put himself behind the president, not the president’s people.

“They have seen me a lot of times,” Woodside said, according to the Post. “So when I went in, I just walked up there.”

Pastor at Trump rally prays to protect him from "jungle journalism"
The pastor giving the invocation at his Ohio rally prayed to protect President Trump from the lying liberal media.

Here's what he said:

"Tonight I pray that you will protect our president and his family with a shield of faith. Lord that shield of faith, against the fiery darts of the wicked ones. Lord, against that jungle journalism extorts the truth and distorts honesty and integrity every single day. Gets in his face with lies and mistruths and innuendos. Lord, protect him," he said

non-stop for months. So, I don't really fear missing anything. I know you were half joking, but I'm disgusted with the unearned media coverage that has followed Trump since the day he came down that damned escalator. The media should agree that his campaign rallies are not earth shatteringly newsworthy, and should hold his feet to the fire for formal press conferences like his predecessors. That way, he has to answer questions on policy, and to hell with his one sided rants.

53. Details Surface About Chinese Spy Who Worked For Sen. Feinstein

New details emerged Wednesday about how a mole for the government of communist China managed to stay by Senator Dianne Feinstein’s side for nearly 20 years.

It happened five years ago, but additional information is just surfacing about how the Bay Area senator’s office was infiltrated by a Chinese spy.

He's so cocky and arrogant even in the midst of all the scandals and corruption that threaten to take him down.

And, as you say, his worshippers eat it up. What do you suppose the average IQ of those crowds are? (Assuming that it could actually be measurable.)

.........the original venue only held 1,500 people, and they wanted a venue that could hold 2,500. So apparently they're reporting that this little circle jerk has 200 more people than it can actually hold. And I'll bet a simple photo of the crowd would show plenty of empty seats.
