Guess Trump felt he at least owed Comey a kiss.

[HipChick]

5. Any context?

I refuse to watch that Clown show...

[malaise]

10. They showed a tape of proceedings in the WH

appointments and thanking first responders and so on

Just showed it again - says the President was embracing Comey and said Dems were of the view that he helped the Con.

[suegeo]

human being to ever reside on this planet

[dixiegrrrrl]

52. OMG.... Luckovich is gonna be walking around in a daze!

Too funny.

[Sunny05]

15. Hey, y'all ... and K&R, while I'm at it ...

I know you're in shock, but don't forget to K&R and ckck Rec.

[Sunny05]

19. Is his style of kissing ppl like this

a mafia or mobster thing?

[malaise]

20. Remember he grabs women

by the pussy - his words.

[Sunny05]

23. oh, remember that for sure.

Who could forget. Gross, overt assault vs this type of kiss ... was wondering. Seems like old-style mob thing.

[JI7]

27. he kissed pence also duRing the vp announcement

[Sunny05]

36. Quick, general internet search ...

(yeah, internet search not a definitive thing!) ...

Some mafia kisses meant/seen as promise not to betray their fellow mafia members, a promise not to reveal secrets.

Other mafia kisses are rumored, at least, to be kisses of death, signals that tbe kissed us the one to be killed.

I didn't look up more general mob possibilities, just mafia.

And I don't know which sources I read really know! But I am thinking there is something to this, though I had in mind something more like the first scenario above -- a loyalty or brotherhood thing. (And am saying brotherhood, given hx, intentionally.)

[appleannie1943]

65. Il bacio della morte

The exact origin is unknown, but an Italian source identifies the bacio della morte as the kiss given to the assassin delegated to "execute" a death sentence, as if to seal the solemn judgment and to wish success on the assignment. Some believe it refers to the kiss of Judas which was given to Jesus to betray him to the soldiers seeking him out. Its use goes back to at least the early 19th century in Sicily.

The "kiss" has also been used as a terror tactic to aid in extortion or debt collection by reducing victims to a state of panic where they will commit to anything to save their lives.

[Sunny05]

66. Ohhh ...

So, the kiss may go to the assassain OR to the one to be killed. ... or the one being psyched out that he/she might be the one to be killed (as part of extortion).

Hhhmmm ...

Thanks!

[TrekLuver]

21. I don't think skin contact was made. It looks like he said something in his ear.

[malaise]

32. I'd need angles n/t

[Cracklin Charlie]

60. Careful what you wish for.

[malaise]

[Sunny05]

39. Bwasaahhh!

[Sunny05]

38. Waaahhh!!!

HiLARious!!! I am NOT going to get over this one!!

[Ilsa]

40. I'm watching football. What was the event?

And why didn't he drop trou and bend over for Comey.

[First Speaker]

41. I guess Putin wasn't available...

[tblue37]

42. K&R for visibility! nt

[MBS]

43. here's some footage

https://twitter.com/richardhine/status/823275097909817344

[malaise]

44. The comments are priceless

[JudyM]

45. Thanks for posting. Looks like Comey's face is a big giveaway, irrespective of the embrace.

It speaks volumes. Not at all like they have just a professional relationship. And I'd love it if someone could lip read what tRump says to him, kind of looks like he's saying they're going to talk again soon.

[MBS]

78. YES, exactly! His face does say it all! n/t

[uponit7771]

46. No vid it didn't happen !!! This is some gotta see to believe shit

[malaise]

48. Check #43

[uponit7771]

51. I don't see a literal kiss but did you see how Comey walked over to him!?! Straight up submissive

... style hands clapped together ready to bend over !!

WE"RE FUCKED ...

Any BSG fans know exactly how I feel, yesterday was great but we need to point that energy towards votes against gerrymandering and voter suppression along with show of fource against benedict donald and comrade comey

[dixiegrrrrl]

56. from teh video, it looked like he whispered something in Comey's ear.

Trump's mouth puckers when he speaks, so it sometimes looks like he is air smooching.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

58. I agree, now that I've seen it too. n/t

[WePurrsevere]

77. Agreed, it was very omega of him. It was rather bizarre to watch...

As he walked over to Trump I could almost swear he tipped his head slightly to expose his throat. I was half expecting him to flop down onto the floor, roll onto his back and pee all over himself but maybe he was saving that for later.

[uponit7771]

80. +1

[Trust Buster]

47. I don't recognize this country any more.

[lindysalsagal]

49. Na. Not buying it. Whisper, but no kiss.

Sorry.

[octoberlib]

50. Trump owes him the Presidency. Well, Comey and Giuliani since I

think Rudy was in it up to his neck.

[onecaliberal]

54. Comey cannot even contain himself

[C_U_L8R]

55. Was there tongue?

Or grabbing?

[gordianot]

57. Which a Judah or mob kiss?

Someone is going to get hurt.

[Vinca]

59. He's whispering the number of Comey's new Caymen Island account.

[Ilsa]

62. Comey looked like a smitten 16 year old boy. nt

[malaise]

68. That's the scary part

Happy as a pig in mud

[smirkymonkey]

63. Is that a real kiss or a mafia kiss?

[deminks]

67. VIDEO here

[UTUSN]

82. video *here*!1 n/t

[kairos12]

69. Just needed to add Cadaver Ghouliani to make it a three way.

[Sunny05]

70. So, I just saw video of this ...

of what is surely same event.

Does Comey always have that sort of demeanor, facial expression, body language? In the past, I've only seen brief stints of him, and he was not walking across the room.

Re: this video, I watched it twice.
First time, he struck me as being awkward or nervous. If I am even correct ... Is he shy in front of camera? Is this typical of him (regardless of reason)? Or, as you can guess is crossing my mind, is he nervous for other reasons?

Second time, as the video started, he struck me as having an "aw shucks" (of humility or shyness or something) approach (not sinister) and then a sort of awkwardness.
