I am still waiting for the pic of what you meant.
I think the issue is, I start too far back on a thread because I like to answer everyone so it can be out of your mind already.

Mar-a-Lago's tallest point looks like a bell tower imo. It also has a Coat of Arms that from far away looks like someone giving you the middle finger.

I hope this brings clarity.

I was hoping for a detail of that armsy-looking thing. My quick image search did not enlighten. It may be a leftover from the person for whom the property was originally built.

Here's more.

He's German and Scot. His family's last name was Drumpf, but I'm sure you know that already.

At appx 1:12am today, I watched the Minuteman launched out of Vandenberg.

I was sitting on the back porch, enjoying a positively nipple-crinkling 87-degree breeze. I was hoping to see it (launch window was set from 12:01 am to 6:01 am) but not expecting to be so lucky.

So around 1:12 I saw an orange dot clear the mountains west of my location, about 150 miles away from the launch site. From me it is on an azimuth of 259. Quite unlike the Falcon 9s I’ve seen launched from there, this one went straight up from my vantage. That means I was sitting pretty much in the trajectory plane.

It was rather less bright than I expected — no brighter than a Falcon 9 first stage.

I had my 15x binos in my lap, so I watched the whole sequence except the first 20ish seconds which were below my horizon. I saw 1:2 staging (T plus 60 seconds), then interstate jettison 16 seconds later. The spent first stage tumbled about 1/sec, visible as an orange blinker as the hot end swept through my line of sight. I tracked it for about 20 seconds before the hit end went dark. (Tumble had slowed to about 1/2sec.)

2:3 staging and 2:3 interstate jettison (T plus 120 and ~135) was also pretty clear. Third stage winked out 3 minutes in (kinda cool that each stage had 60 seconds burn time. I’m sure the missile’s name has nothing to do with that.) at an elevation of about 20 degrees.

I saw it go up on a constant bearing (straight up). The usual target is Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands at a latitude of 9N, while Vandenberg is at 35N.

I found this map, which suggests that I was within a degree of the ballistic trajectory plane (great circle).

He's pretending he's running because if he truly announces he looses access to his money..so he walks right up to the line and leans over into our air space..someday, a drone just might come along to protect our air space.

It doesn't matter any more, they got him on the stump and his ego will keep him there while his legal troubles make him more panicked and desperate. If Obama and Hilary start jerking his chain over the secret documents he will go nuts while Joe sits back and laughs. The red hot poker up his ass with the Mar A logo search got him on the stump and holding rallies and they will make him keep holding them while the J6 committee drops repeated bombshells in October. It will be all about Donald as he steals all the oxygen, forget the carefully crafted plan, Mitch is shitting bricks and so is Karl Rove. Donald and abortion could give you the house too, he is the ugly face of American fascism and the safety of democracy is the number one issue.
