    During the ceremony, a humorous interaction was caught on C-SPAN cameras between the vice president and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

    “Stand right here. Although that is not your nature to just stand wherever you’re told to stand, but give it a try,” Harris said to Sanders as the senator approached her to be sworn in.

    Sanders let out a brief smile in response.

      Once again, I propose that we take the average life expectancy of USA citizens and subtract 18 years and cut off voting rights. I have a Bernie placard in my window, but he’s quite an exception. We need to stop letting elderly people decide for the generations that come after them.
