Appreciated this. I thought some of the Bulwark commentary, especially early/mid-process was disruptive to my viewing process but overall this was stellar. Please consider a watch for the Noem hearing. Doing so would make a great comedy hour+ for you and all of us.

My earlier suggestion of pause for 1 minute and play at 1.25x for 5 minutes would allow commentary without missing anything but might be disruptive. How about carefully muting during the unanimous consent requests and putting up a graphic saying either "R request to enter material into the record supporting the nominee" or "D request to enter material into the record damaging to the nominee". Then maybe post a summary of those at the end, or not; by definition we can all look them up when the record is published.
Unfortunately itтАЩs impossible to predict those things and theyтАЩre generally too short for someone to meaningfully extemporize some commentary.
тАжWell, usually impossible to predict. WickerтАЩs tactic of entering something into the record following every DemocratтАЩs questioning was a bit bizarre (and came off to someone who watches an unhealthy number of hearings as defensive).
I think the pause-and-resume-with-speedup idea is definitely worth trying тАФ IтАЩve never seen it done before, but I just tried re-watching a bit of the hearing at 1.25 speed and it doesnтАЩt seem to hurt. Figuring out what a protestor is screaming or getting the timing of jokes is likely to suffer, but those are pretty ancillary.
