Kamala Harris is the first woman VP. I think the US is behind most of Europe in putting woman in high government positions. Please advise on this.

There has been an imbalance, but we've had a fair-share of female governors, dating back to 1925:

same with Senators...dating back to 1922:

I don't know if this puts us ahead or behind anybody.

This thread will not be closed. Just like they did not close the US Capitol. I do not accept hooligans. I do not accept people who bully and do name calling. Any offending and inappropriate posts here will be deleted, so no need to comment on them.
I watched the inauguration ceremony yesterday. For the first time ever. Mainly because of the Jan 6 hooligan acts. I am not a political person. I love USA and I wish USA all the best. As I watched the direct broadcast on our main TV channel in Norway, I changed channels to some of the 100 or so channels I have in my TV. To the main channels of TV in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, UK, USA and so on. There were more than 30 leading channels broadcasting the inauguration live. Not even the Olympics, or World Cup in football, have that kind of international cover. It was a main event in the world yesterday.
So this thread will stay, because many do care, and many want to congratulate Biden, Harris and USA. I would rather have one such tread per year here than a lot of threads about food, pizza, or other off topic matters. After all, we do live in the real world, we can not disconnect the Rolling Stones from the real world. If USA went into a hooligan place, the Stones would not tour there, they do not tour in unsafe places.
The inauguration performances yesterday by Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Garth Brooks, Amanda Gorman, Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, John Legend and many others were made in love, not hate.
If you can't live with the fact that Biden / Harris is now in charge in USA, then so be it. Please do not post your hate opinions here. I will just delete them. I have had enough of hate posts over the years here. The would can not be built on hate and dividing people, that is not us.
I work for free to keep IORR running. I pay all the bills, there are no ads here. I spend hours every day cleaning up hateful posts and offending comments. Rest assure I will delete posts and I will also delete access. Those who do not respect democracy, those who just want to hate and do name calling, please go away.
Now I will watch Celebrating America - The Inauguration Evening Concert.
Thanks for your respect and understanding. Sure the Rolling Stones will perform live in USA one day, but before that, bury the hate, bring back the love and understanding.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looked to me that the three presidents spoke at Arlington.

Yes! I hope he'll pardon O.J. Simpson (an innocent man who was victim of racism by the LAPD).
Go Joe! Make this country a better place to live!

How do you pardon a free man?
