... A federal government agency has .. been working with a New Jersey town to construct a pier for a ferry service ... Yet both .. would lead right to a resort run and owned by Kushner Companies ...

The Federal Transit Administration, part of the Transportation Department, gave the city $3.34 million in 2008 to revamp the pier, but more funds are required to finish the project ...

Federal financial disclosure forms filed in December by Kushner, who has had to revise them several times since assuming his position last year, showed he still owned part of Pier Village ...

Kushner Cos. purchased the resort in 2014 for roughly $200 million with the plan to develop the aforementioned condos and market them to New Yorkers ...

2. Feds helping NJ town develop ferry service to Jared's resort

... The Federal Transit Administration has been helping a New Jersey beachfront town with its plans to develop a ferry service and build a pier that would shuttle passengers between New York City and Long Branch, where White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner co-owns a resort. The project would boost the value of Kushner's beachfront condos by as much as 50 percent, a local business administrator told The Associated Press. The 269 units currently sell for as much as $1.9 million each.

The FTA gave Long Branch $3.34 million to rebuild the pier back in 2008, but it wasn't enough to complete the project. City officials reportedly kept the Kushner family, which has developed property in Long Branch for decades, in the loop about plans to continue to fund the pier ...

... this is raising eyebrows over whether the federal government is inappropriately pushing a project that would directly benefit the president's family.

3. I hope he and his dad go back to jail

and have all of their assets seized. Greedy traitors. I f Jared's dad did tell Jared to tell the fucking moron to fire Comey so that the FBI wouldn't look into the family finances (as Bannon claimes), can Mueller include him in "obstruction" charges?

4. Always loved that Busby Berkeley number!

I do believe that was Ginger Rogers before she got her teeth fixed.
Surprised they didn’t have her dancing more.

5. Oddly enough-I'm not a theater guy...

back around 1970 I saw Ruby Keeler in the revival of No No Nanette! on Broadway with Busby Berkeley directing. Amazing performance-in one scene she and six or eight other girls danced across the stage on top of big beach balls in perfect formation and Miss Keeler had to appear to misstep and have to almost fall off and then run back into balance on top of her beach ball-totally amazing and she did it every performance.
