Discussion: Chef José Andrés Opening Up Kitchen In D.C. For Unpaid Federal Workers

Are these meals a benefit in kind? Will Chef José Andrés have to 1099 the people he feeds? Andrés has a fraught history with Trump, he should be careful.

In part. But José Andrés represents another part.

I love this guy. Foremost for helping people who desperately need it during a crisis. But also for continually showing Trump for the Sadist that he is (lack of concern/effort/bordering on cruelty in Puerto Rico, and now in D.C.) But because he is doing so much good - while Trump is doing nothing - it is hard for Trump to go on the attack. (Or perhaps that was part of the settlement of the lawsuit?)

Immigrant offers to feed public servants who cannot pay for food because the government is shut down over a fight to keep immigrants out. That should be the lede.

Everyone is calling Trump to tell him they don’t need to eat.

Locating it on Pennsylvania Avenue is pure genius. I hope it’ll be located within sight of the White(s Only) House. I also hope Robin Bell will project directions to it on Grifter International Hotel, along with his “Pay Emoluments Here” graphics.

Just as a reminder, José Andrés is the chef who immediately cancelled his lease in that hotel when Toadglans pronounced Mexicans “drug dealers, criminals, and rapists.” El Criminal Cockholster immediately sued Andrés for breach of contract with much fanfare. As per normal, the suit was eventually settled out of court with the obligatory “vow of silence.” However, Andrés has since intimated that the World’s Best Businessman got nothing, nada, zip, squat for his troubles.

¡Viva José!

Actually, I’d like to see Taco Trucks surround the White House, or at the very least, The Rump Motel.

Has the Faux Noise wurlitzer start up yet about these freeloaders who are simply on vacation taking free hand-outs?

On Pennsylvania, hope it’s close to you know where!

This is masterful, the best kind of troll of Trump — because it’s not against Trump, it’s for the benefit of those hurt by Trump.

I appreciate the commenters here more than those on any other site, but I find myself gravitating elsewhere more often simply because things don’t function here that consistently.

Has he sent a nasty tweet to Justin Trudeau yet?
