My twitter feed is full of Biden's watch because it's a nice watch. Apparently there's no scandal to report on so the hyenas are reduced to whining about a watch.
I dunno where this started, but would someone let them know my watch is also a nice watch. It's 62 yr old Timex that's taken a lickin' and kept on tickin'. If they need a picture I can send one.
I mean, it really is a nice watch.

Hypnotist Richard Barker Shows How Trumpnosis, Donald Trump's Form of Covert Hypnosis, Affects Millions Around the World
NEWS PROVIDED BY
Richard Barker, Incredible Hypnotist
Mar 29, 2016, 08:35 ET
ORLANDO, Fla., March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypnotist Richard Barker has just released research surrounding mass hypnosis and has coined the phrase "Trumpnosis".
Trumpnosis.com has been receiving lots of interest as of late. Covert hypnosis means having access to people's subconscious mind and altering the way they behave and think in a disguised or somewhat hidden way. Some popular covert hypnosis techniques used to align someone's behavior and thoughts to the desired outcome of the hypnotists are displayed during mass hypnosis.
Barker typically refers to mass hypnosis as "Trumpnosis", since he states, "Mr. Trump displays it so well". The media have also made comments regarding the Hypnotizing of a nation and questioned what is happening to America. Through the words and actions of an individual, can we influence and suggest a nation to think a certain way? Richard Barker who is known as the 'Incredible Hypnotist' thinks so. Barker said, "Everything we do and see must first start with a thought process. We don't see the world; we think it. If your thoughts are influenced by a master Hypnotist to think in a certain way on a mass level, this is 'Trumpnosis'".
Mass Hypnotism can apply to everything and be everywhere in families, in schools and in politics. The influence and use of repetition on crowds is identified through Mr. Trump's speeches and is seen to influence even the most enlightened minds. The power is due to the fact that the repeated statements are embedded in those profound regions of our subconscious mind.
Donald Trump successfully uses techniques such as pacing and leading, anchoring, verbal confusion, repetition and so on. He successfully bypasses the critical factor in minds of some people and has the ability to turn off the rational thinking. By using certain words and behavior, a speaker can very quickly establish a rapport with an audience. Repeated exposure to the same speaker can result in them being viewed with admiration, bordering on worship. Every word uttered is accepted as the complete truth.
Through the words he has used, both now and in the past, he has placed others into a hypnotic state without them knowing," says Barker. "Trump's speeches contains hypnosis techniques of hypnotic anchoring, pacing and leading, critical factor bypass and so on."
Hypnotist Richard Barker insists, "All you need to remember is that most people's needs are based on their instincts. Understanding people's instincts, especially in a mass gathering, is one of the key goals of mass hypnosis. Trumpnosis is a vehicle for enabling large groups of people to have an altered belief system."
Richard Barker is a World Renowned Professional Hypnotist. He has spent the last 20 years working with thousands of clients across the world. Richard Barker has recently appeared on NBC's The Today Show, CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden, FOX's Good Day LA and News channels for FOX and ABC http://incrediblehypnotist.com
He has written a new book focusing on Persuasion and Suggestion titled, "Selling Hypnotically. The Art Of Suggestion" http://sellinghypnotically.com

(3,384 posts)After the last 4 years, I could give two shits if Biden wore rolexes all up and down both arms. Bc it doesnt change the fact that trump put kids in cages, deported legal citizens, incited insurrectionists, and attempted a coup,

(26,045 posts)Rolex has also been worn by Eisenhower, JFK (not in public, as the watch was an engraved gift from Marilyn Monroe), LBJ, Reagan, and...Trump (although the latter preferred to wear a Vacheron Constantin, a brand that makes Rolex look like Timex in terms of price). Also, Barack Obama now wears a Rolex, although he only acquired it after leaving office. As a matter of fact, the Rolex "President" model, their solid gold Day-Date that became the ultimate yuppie status symbol in the 1980s, got its nickname due to it being Lyndon Johnson's favorite.
https://hypebeast.com/2021/1/wrist-check-united-states-of-america-past-presidential-watches-round-up
Incidentally, Biden's blue-faced steel DateJust, although certainly not a bargain watch, is one of the more modest Rolex models currently available. If one wanted to be play class-war, one could make more about the fact that he also owns two Omegas, including the Speedmaster that was first worn on the moon. All I can say is that he's got good taste, has a balanced "three-watch" collection (formal, sport, and chrono), and goes for reasonable value for money -- granted that Swiss watches from big-name firms are not going to be cheap -- as opposed to the flashier status-magnets that some ex-presidents I could mention wear.
(As an admitted watch nerd, I couldn't let this go by without providing some clarification.)

(3,384 posts)And thats perfectly OKAY. You dont have to be poor to fight for social justice. I find that people often glamorize or romanticize their plight in order to better deal w it in their own heads. It makes them feel better about themselves and their situations.
However, if youre preaching the word of God and you live in a mansion w summer and winter homes and a fleet of expensive cars, I would have to question your integrity and devotion to the word of God. Especially when they dont do anything to help the poor, sick, or those down on their luck.
These two situations are not the same. The former is a private citizen. And the other, is a Joel Osteen and purveyer of Christian words for his own financial gain. I remember when one of the hurricanes was hitting Houston and he refused to let people come stay inside his mega church for refuge. It said a lot about what he actually worships. It was disgusting.
And here we are bitching bc the president of the United states is wearing a Rolex? I mean, if thats ALL youve got to complain about Biden, then it says a lot as well. That hes pretty damn awesome and youre pretty damn petty and should probably reassess your life.

It was a gift from a loved one. I invite anybody who has a problem with that to fuck themselves.
Glad to be keeping such good company and time, with our classy new President. Thank you, God.
