P.I.T.A. bread with Faux butter completes the main course. Pleaseno Noir is the suggested whine choice. Finish with a White Tart and espresso with a shot of Nepotista.

Trump Organization Settles Lawsuit With Chef José Andrés

April 7, 2017

The Trump Organization has settled a legal battle with the chef José Andrés that had stretched on for two years. The lawsuit concerned a restaurant deal that Andrés pulled out of after Trump made comments disparaging Mexicans.

Andrés' restaurant was to be in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., which operates inside the historic Old Post Office. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and both parties declined comment beyond a joint statement from the Trump Organization and Andrés' restaurant group, Think Food Group.

"I am glad that we are able to put this matter behind us and move forward as friends," Donald Trump Jr. said in the statement. "Since opening in September 2016, Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C. has been an incredible success and our entire team has great respect for the accomplishments of both José and TFG. Without question, this is a 'win-win' for both of our companies."

TRUMP’S HOTELS ARE LOSING MONEY AS ROOM RATES PLUMMET

BY GREG PRICE ON 11/20/17


Room rates across President Donald Trump’s global hotel empire have nosedived by as much as 63 percent since he moved into the White House while the billionaire continues to deal with allegations of conflicts of interest since taking office.

Twelve of Trump’s 13 titular hotels experienced a decline in room rates when comparing prices from January 2017 to January 2018, according to the Telegraph, which cited travel currency service FairFX.

Prior to his inauguration, a two-night stay at Trump Las Vegas cost $844, but now goes for $314, the biggest fall for one of the president’s properties.

Trump Turnberry, a United Kingdom property that includes a signature golf course, experienced the next-highest drop of 57 percent, followed by Trump Doral in Florida at 53 percent and Trump's controversial Washington D.C. hotel at 52 percent.

Trump Doonbeg in Ireland was the only hotel with an increase, at seven percent. All others slipped between 10 percent and 63 percent.

You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis

And in the sense of having to simply share space, which it's doubtful she's ever done before, she won't be able to say "Leave".

Will be a unique experience for her, even without anyone assaulting her.

I don't know though, I've heard federal minimum security is not terrible. Maybe she could get a private cell. But in the event of her actually being convicted of anything, my vote would be for that privilege to be denied. It might help her mature as a person.

It leads to the question of “WHY?” Why is Ivanka disturbed by the presence of Jose? When did this discomfort actually start? Oh, pick me pick me!: it started when daddy said Mexicans are rapists and Jose said fuck you, I’m outta here, that’s when!

Good luck defending her, trumpers - good fuckin LUCK

Her entitlement, arrogance and fragility are revealed in this story. The larger issue is that she is a White House staffer. Her demand for removal is outrageous as such. She is an Asst. to the President, not Her Royal Highness

73. A Word of Warning. I have yet to see a real direct link to Ivanka. Let's not Pizzagate.

Everything I've seen so far, is just the chef making assumptions. While it seems very plausible this could have happened I have not seen anything that is enough to warrant all the hype this is getting.

All we have so far is the chef's tweet. This is some dangerous pizzagate style territory we're treading in here.

On Edit:

My fear is us setting ourselves up for a fall. One the right would love to take advantage of.

Of note, the dinner and after party are different guest lists. Also, Ivanka Trump had no role on determining event attendees. Franco 2/2

is an impeccable source...from wiki:

Jorge Eugenio Guajardo Gonzalez is a Mexican politician and diplomat[1] from Nuevo León.

Education Edit

Guajardo holds a bachelor degree in Foreign Service from Georgetown University and a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Career Edit

From 1994 to 1997 he worked in the Washington, DC offices of Hill and Knowlton and later Burson-Marsteller. From 1997 to 2000 he served as Director of Communications for the Governor of Nuevo León.

President Vicente Fox designated him as the Mexican consul in Austin, Texas.[2] In 2007 he was designated by President Felipe Calderón as the Mexican Ambassador to the People's Republic of China;[1] the Senate confirmed his designation on April 2007.

He said:

Thank you @IvankaTrump for reaching out. I believe now that you personally had nothing to do.
Let’s now work on what’s important: Immigration reform, where #DACADreamers and Undocumented citizens will become part of a strong USA. With secure borders. With economic growth.


Not "I believe now that you personally had nothing to do with it"

In addition to feeding thousands of Puerto Ricans and other amazing accomplishments.. he's also a truth-teller about vicious daddy trump.

Shame on the owner of the restaurant.

He now tweets it was a misunderstanding about different hosts with individual private party lists for the after-party at Cafe Milano and he wasn't invited to any.

But there's an assumption he has that everyone invited to the main hotel party gets to attend the after-party, and was the only one not let in.

Is this like the prom and after-prom? Or two separate events?

Anyway, I left my review some hours back on Yelp which is recommended and kind of an attention grabber, so I'm not sure whether to delete?

120. He didn't make the invite list because everyone thought he was still in PR

They need safe spaces more than anybody else does. That is why it works to use their language against them.
