112. Well, I'm not going to criticize your point. I think it is quite valid.

I also think we need more aggressive action on impeachment hearings - at least CALL them that.

As to AOC - well, I didn't really want to come on here for a few days because I knew many, many, many on here would be piling on.

It got ugly, and I believe Pelosi's dismissal of these four women will backfire on her, and on the Dem leadership.

I'm sorry for it, but AOC, and the others are trying to get some action, and I don't think they will back down. And I don't think they will be defeated for reelection, either. I believe the Democratic party leadership is quite stuck with them, and good luck keeping them down.

If Pelosi isn't careful, the party is headed toward a rift just as we need to be united. But to be careful of the potential rift, Pelosi and the Democratic leadership will have to take vigorous and aggressive action against Republicans.

I guess we'll see how it plays out, won't we?
