Careless Selfies Expose Russian Yacht Owners | Does Sen. Grassley Host Sex Parties?

It can be difficult to trace the owners of Russian superyachts, but authorities continue to find selfies on social media that help link oligarchs to their boats. In congressional news, Stephen is still waiting for an answer from Senator Chuck Grassley about the alleged annual gathering known as Chuck Grassley's Ass Jamboree. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

@The Surly Bear the only time the right is interested in sex is if they can limit the freedoms of consenting adults. Or if they can force someone to have a child. They are the ones trying to avoid being associated with the orgy

[@thisbushnell4824]

@The Surly Bear the GOP are fake bible thumpers, banning some citizens from h.s. sports participation because of sexual orientation, attempting to resurrect the misogenation laws, just to start the extensive list rolling. You have it just backward, dearie.

That hurt so much when Stephen made fun of Kirkland Signature products. Those are my go to (if I can pour them into a high end brand container.)

[@tinaperez7393]

Everyone knows theyre just as good and often better than the name brands and often the name brands make them too - so it's their same stuff - but just labeled for the kirkland brand and costco! Besides, only people who can afford a membership and shopping at costco can afford to shop there, so Kirkland's practically a status symbol. 😜 Costco and Kirkland are big on quality to value. Interestingly (possibly), whole private companies make and sell their products only for and to be sold under the kirkland brand. Whole wineries, brewers, etc. Costco / Kirkland shops the market of a product and once they find something they really like that fits what they need they sometimes make an exclusive deal with the maker. There have been blind taste tests of wines where the winner was produced for the kirkland label.

[@Szabla1595]

I've seldom been disappointed by the fine folks at Kirkland.
