Boebert throws boyfriend under the bus.
“I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told the outlet, referring to Gallagher, who co-owns an Aspen bar that hosts drag shows.
Although she alluded to her date’s affiliation as a Democrat, the GOP stalwart said the break-up had nothing to do with the various reports on Gallagher in recent days.

Zelenskyy no longer has any motive to cover for trump during this US visit.
December 2, 2019
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied again that President Trump used nearly $400 million in military aid as a bargaining chip to pressure him to launch investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine’s role in the 2016 U.S. election.
‘If you are our strategic partner, then you should not block any help. It’s about fairness for me. It’s not about a quid pro quo — it’s just a story in itself.’
Zelensky, in an interview in October, said he was unaware that the military aid was suspended when he spoke to Trump in July. “I had no idea the military aid was held up,” he said at a news conference.
“I did not speak with U.S. President Trump in those terms: You give me this, I give you that,” Zelensky reportedly told the German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published Monday.
The July 25 phone call between Zelensky and Trump sparked the Trump impeachment inquiry that is underway in the House. Trump, for his part, has called the phone call “perfect” and blasted the Democrats’ impeachment effort as a “witch hunt.”

Trump and OJ. Both claimed the items they tried to steal were rightfully theirs.
Trump tried to steal the Presidency and government documents. At least OJ really gained all those yards and won all those trophies.

The auction of more than 800 pieces of "surplus industrial equipment" by MyPillow appears to have got off to a slow start, with more than 100 items having no bids at all whilst many others are currently going for well below the market price.
MyPillow is owned by Mike Lindell, a Donald Trump supporter who said he "lost $100 million" after major retailers stopped stocking his products after he became a vocal proponent of the conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against the Republican candidate.
