1. Surprised

Trumpig didn’t take his pet Lindsay to Moscow a lago.

[blm]

2. 😁

[Wicked Blue]

3. Trump also owns gold toilets nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. It's been reported the watch belonged to his deceased son Beau N/t

6. That assumption was wrong. Different watch.

Latest story is that it was a Christmas present from Jill Biden. Nice gift.

5. I don't have a problem with Rolex...

However, I do have a problems with people blocking others from their opportunity to buy one. Slave wages, repressed representation and the rest.

Sing it with me!

19. Welkies :)

My drive home Friday evening featured that song by a dj closing out his week. He played that song every Friday, loved that guy.

21. I'd never hear that and I'm a Ray Stephens fan.

How did I miss it?

[PirateRo]

23. Don't know, but I'm sure there are 20 versions of this by different artists

Google is your friend! So is YouTube search

I have like ten versions of baby it’s cold outside be various artists love that one!

24. Written by Margaret Archer and Chet Atkins and released in 1987

I found a cover by Cledus T. Judd and Joe Diffie - OK, but Stevens did it better. I found another cover by Phil Walker - weirdly campy and not particularly well done.

28. Well, a Rolex would become a Timex if us plebs were able to buy a few too.

.

It's like a Mercedes. Rent one some day. The biggest pieces of shit you'd ever drive.

Two of my neighbors have them, they always have them in the shop. Now I see why.

I bet the dealership's towing service has everyone's home addresses in their GPS system.

7. At least a Rolex is useful...nt

[IronLionZion]

8. At least the Rolex can tell time

Lindsey Graham would probably lie about that too if you asked him.

9. President Biden made the superior choice.

To be expected.

10. I bought mine in the early 80's and still wear it most every day. Not a 1%'er,

just a guy who wanted a watch I could pass on to my son when I take the dirtnap.

11. Hey, I have 20% of my annual income invested in camera equipment.

Does that make me a bad person? At any given time there is more money sitting on my cocktail table than is parked in my garage (compact car and motorcycle!) and I don't think it's a big deal or anybody's business. I'm sure a $10,000 watch is a lot less than 20% of the Biden's annual income.

[CaptainTruth]

13. I can relate. You should see my recording studio.

Lots of instruments, amps, & recording equipment collected over decades. There are a lot of things I DON'T own because I put the money into that.

[usaf-vet]

17. Good point! For me it's tools and a workshop. Beside the last time I wore a suit was 50 years ago...

.... at my wedding. T-shirts and bluejeans are not complementary to a Rolex.

[catbyte]

12. Big whoop. So Dr. Jill Biden gave it to him for Christmas. This is as ridiculous

as the tan suit scandal.

Give me a goddamned break.

[usaf-vet]

14. So what I think it is safe to say. Biden has never grab a woman by the **** or sh*t on a gold toilet

[kirkuchiyo]

15. Its not like its a Patek Philippe tourbillon perpetual

I mean, its a nice watch but a lot of people could afford one if that was their priority. I've bought motorcycles that cost more than that.

16. I'm retired from the Postal Service and I have a Rolex.

I actually have two- but one of them, the one I wear, is fake. I didn't buy either one.

The real Rolex was a gift from "Uncle John." Uncle John was my wife's stepfather's brother. My wife became his caretaker and later, guardian, when he went into a decade long slide into dementia. Early on, she quit her job, and as Uncle John's condition deteriorated, we agreed that Uncle John would be her "job" until he got to the point of going to assisted living. This stage lasted for a couple of years and Uncle John gave me his Rolex as an expression of gratitude for our sacrifices.

I consider the watch a keepsake (it keeps lousy time) and wore it every day. A couple years ago, my wife was winding the watch, dropped it, and smashed the crystal. Replacing the crystal costs something like $500 and we put it off. I told the story at the Democratic office where I was volunteering every day. Another volunteer gave me a knockoff replacement that he picked up cheap ($35?) in Singapore. I wear it every day.

26. Some of the latest fakes made by the Chinese are so hard to tell apart from the real ones

that even some of the experts are getting fooled.

You used to be able to tell by the size of the magnified date or by testing the crystal to make sure it was sapphire instead of glass or by the little crown etched into the crystal, but now they have just about everything covered. Anyone can buy a Rolex replica for a little over a hundred bucks, and none of their friends will ever think is a fake.

20. What would Jesus do? According to Paul McCartney, ...

one evening before he was married, someone knocked on his door, and identified himself as Jesus. What did Paul do? He invited Jesus in, made him a cup of tea, and then took him along to a Beatles rehearsal. It was the 1960s, people, and folks used a variety of drugs, and the likelihood that it was Jesus is small. But Paul didn't want to be the one to turn him away. There's a warning about that in the New Testament, after all. Paul tells this story in the quite good biography "Many Years From Now." This is your reminder of what to do if you meet Jesus, and I doubt he'll ask for your Rolex.

22. And I have a $45,000 boat. But I'm not rich. Well, not really.

Big f’n deal. One of my aspirations is to own a Rolex. But only when it is truly extra income.

I financed the boat. Won’t finance a watch.

[area51]

25. I remember republinazi party members

getting upset about a watch worn by AOC. They seem a bit watch-obsessed.

[ecstatic]

27. Wow. Glad I escaped this nontroversy

People are mad about Biden's rolex?! Real people or just trolls?
