The implication is they are so well connected with the PTB that this kind of intimacy is normal between them. And who knows, maybe it is (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, squire) - but there is a difference between tapping someone's elbow to get their attention, then whispering in someone's ear (which I have done to others as well), and rubbing shoulders, getting in close physical contact, and getting intimate with someone, as BJ, er, JB is doing with this guys wife...

Where I work, and in my business ops, we call such things highly unprofessional, showing a lack of ethical and unseemly behavior, and even grounds for a sexual harassment suit (even if Biden's attentions weren't unwarranted, uninvited, or unwelcome) ... If I saw someone doing this at work, the least that would happen would be a "discussion on appropriateness"...

Of course, when you are a member of the royal court, such matters are inconsequential... And anyway, maybe they are "butt-buddies"...

If it were my wife I'd say something - something direct like "Please take your hands off my wife."

What a creepy guy... The look on her face is like, "Um...you can stop now."

The individuals he is groping is the one who should turn around and slap him silly.
Of course any individual that Biden gropes is one who is playing the DC power game, and Biden knows that person can't confront him.
Like all predators, he preys on the vulnerable. Of course the vulnerable in this case is not an innocent.

They do that journalistic thing where they say on one hand, this looks creepy, but on the other hand some people say it's not. So they've covered both "sides". Some people say the earth is billions of years old, while others claim it's thousands.

This is pure creepiness. The video looks worse than the picture.

I think they did the right thing by not responding during the photo op. He's punching himself politically by acting like that in public.
