Pence Tells House GOP to Get Ready to Pass Sweeping Legislation

(Bloomberg) -- Vice President-elect Mike Pence told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting Thursday to be ready to move a lot of legislation next year, Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said.

"Donald Trump is a man of action and we’re counting on you " Pence said, according to Brady. The California Republican said that Pence mentioned a tax overhaul and Obamacare, but didn’t get into specifics.

Pence, a former House member himself, returned to the U.S. Capitol Thursday to visit with House Republicans, and he plans to meet later with top Democratic leaders in the House and Senate.

Pence’s closed-door meeting with Speaker Paul Ryan and other House Republicans reflected his vital role as President-elect Trump’s top liaison to Congress. His visit was squeezed in even as Pence is overseeing the building of a Trump administration, a transition effort seen as marked by infighting.

Get ready for royal f***ing.

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATORS! If they hear nothing from us they assume it's all good. Hell, they assume that anyway!

Especially on the tax cuts for the ruling class, since that is who sponsors our government regardless of party affiliation.


Peace

contacting them means nothing, to the democratic House members that lost, it means less.

We're fucked.

This country is gonna go downhill backwards in a heartbeat come January 20, 2017.
