Is anyone else watching the Wilbur Ross hearing?

It's on C-SPAN 3 and is about the 2020 census and the citizenship question, but questions are touching on timelines, political pressure, and intent in including the question.

Ross is the slowest talker I've ever heard. He also seems to be hard of hearing and has trouble understanding simple questions.

How Ross has evaded the Special Counsel's attention to this point is flabbergasting. He's up to his bald pate in Russian money laundering.

I did know that. How do cord cutters get around this?

for cable users, and everyone else has to wait until the next day when they have the archived video to go online.

I was watching it live, but it's over now. I stopped after 3 hours because Ross looks and talks like a moron on Quaaludes and he kept repeating the same old stuff in a distracted monotone.

If you go to c-span.org and look on the right side, go down to find c-span 3 and click on it. You can watch the whole 6 1/2 hours or move the time bar at the bottom and find anywhere in the video. This will probably stay until the next scheduled program on c-span 3.

ought to be enough to begin impeachment proceedings.

This is one sick, corrupt, evil, vile piece of amphibian shit.
