President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don't think this made it here.
His rally over the weekend in Coachella, reportedly was well-attended. I saw a story that said 100,000. I doubt it. Parking was 6 miles away. They had shuttle buses -- one report said 20 -- to bring the people to the rally area. Afterward, NO buses. Then one person said there might have been three. Total mess. People had to walk 6 miles to get back to their cars. A later report said calls were made to Riverside County law enforcement and they were able to round up some school buses. I saw one photo of a school bus at the rally site. I suppose Riverside officials could bill the Trump campaign for the cost of the bus usage, but I doubt they'll be paid.
From what I've read, the company that transported people to the site didn't get paid, so they left.
 
This Trump thing last night … I truly do not understand why this is not actually causing alarm. Am I that out of touch with what is acceptable behavior from somebody who was once President of the United States? Are my standards just too high?

Certainly I'm not going to go back and watch the whole rally to see if the dancing-on-stage-for-half-an-hour thing is being taken out of context.

I keep wondering if my news judgment has simply faded that much in the 20 years since I left the newsroom.
