This is insane.

Tyrus on guns: "If my military has it, if my gov't has it, and we get into a situation with all this division and supposed one-side will take over. I don't want to be in the Venezuela situation, to where I can't form a militia and protect myself."




Tyrus flashback:




Tyrus, a Fox News contributor and a host on the network’s subscription streaming service, Fox Nation, sent lewd and inappropriate text messages to his now-former Fox Nation co-host, Britt McHenry, according to four sources familiar with the texts’ contents.

The messages, which have not previously been reported, include texts in which Tyrus said to McHenry: “Just pull your boobs out now why don’t you. Just grin and bare it” and “keep being negative and I’ll send you another dick pic.”

In June, The Daily Beast reported that Tyrus was pulled off the show he co-hosted with McHenry, after McHenry complained to the network about him.



In a second story, The Daily Beast reported that McHenry’s complaint included a claim of sexual harassment against Tyrus.

Between November 2018 and January 2019, Tyrus sent texts like this one to McHenry: “I love the fact your always working if we ever had sex I feel like after an orgazzum you say speaking of feeling good did see the story on the puppy rescue we should do a segment on it hand me my phone.”

Doesn't that slob look like the sort of hero that people would just fall in line behind, and battle a superior force against long odds by dint of his sparkling personality? No?

Yeah, I'll go with "Who?"

standing outside his home with his military gun facing a tank ends with the tank blowing up? I wonder if he has ever thought what he would look like if that tank shot him? These people are stupid. It is their attitude and crazy egos that keeps them from ever thinking they could be bested by a drone drop or anything at the hands of our military.
