    Skirt the profanity filter much?

    I am just catching up after being away for a while, but this is right up there with some of the wildest I have seen in a long time!

    Probably gonna see yourself out the door.

    Their mentality is only superceded by their IQ. My tax dollars pay their salaries, what a scam of a government we have.

    Waiting for DOGE to issue a legitimate tax refund, only this one has to be claimed on Democrats tax returns as income not taxed.

    You have to stop making sense, Democrats forgot that it's intake, fuel, combustion and exhaust to get to work or across the country.

    They want..... plug it in and maybe it works.

    Intake, compression, power and exhaust is another way to name the 4 stroke

    I love the smell of a 2 stroke outboard on a cool humid morning. Still have a Marriner 115 hp love the sound and smell.

    My only complaint on 2 stroke outboards is the film and slight oil burn smoke they induce.

    Limited in factor, but still contribute to a bit of pollution.

    I figure during my work drilling recovery wells while paying my way thru college and then working for an environmental consultant operating and maintaining contamination from leaking underground storage tanks till now where my company manufactures equipment that prevents contaminants from getting into ground water I can forgive myself for running a couple 2 stroke old smokers.

    My sarcasm runs thin. If your boat pollutes the earth, it is only fathomable that ships, tankers and cruise lines have ended us already.

    Yet, here I am!

    351 Cleveland would have been the better option, modified the last.

    Mark Kelly is no where near a liberal, I just crack up at reading these post.

    It's not like a year ago Trump went from stating electric cars are trash to hawking them on the White House Lawn:busted:

    The owner of my company has a Model S, he's no liberal in fact he also has a Corvette, Porcha 911, and a Lincoln Navigator. He bought the Tesla because of the performance of the car, he really does not care about global warming.

    In fact a member here GregMO has a Tesla I have enjoyed his review of the car.

    Got to go I got a text about the military plans Trumps DOD sent out, let's see what they are going to do next.

    I am happy Trump is backing off the Tariff nonsense, strangly when he backed off we got 4 new orders .

    No words needed for this meme

    Mark Kelly is not a liberal :lmao2:

    He's as far left as one can get without becoming a socialist.

    RE: global warming- When I was in grade school in the early 50, we were told the earth was cooling. 1964-1965 saw the New York World's Fair. The population clock during one visit showed 224M; now we are at 340M. Could that be the problem?

    No here is the problem, human hubris and arrogance. This is a LIVING universe and planet we inhabit. There are those amongst us that assume they can state outcomes from gathering data from past events and " evidence ".
    What is that akin to? Well this
    A Doctor with a say, 40 year practice serving young and old with many thousands of different issues, stating facts on the life of a new born.
    Stating said new born will develope this way or that, have specific disease at specific times. Have specific bone breaks, menal abnormalties, etc,etc. as fact.
    It is an impossible premise.
