the wait is aggravating and...

I think they're trying to do it just right; crossed "t"s, dotted
"I"s etc. So there is no wiggle room.

Plus being able to lay it out clearly for all (not TFG supporters) who don't pay as much attention as we do how clearly dangerous it was (not everyone watched all/most of the footage), plus laying out the procedural of the Senate, and what was trying to be hi jacked, etc.

No doubts for the more casual viewer - might even shock some nto paying more attention.

Between TFG and actions still reverberating, Repugs in Congress, our recalcitrant twosome, and 18+ months of covid we all (most) have various extra levels
anxiety, and easier to be/get cranky (with usually some kind of good reason to be so).
