No, you're being obnoxious when, instead of an intelligent response, you make some snarky remark about being blind. But, it's NS, so have at it. You obviously enjoy it, even if it's not your field of expertise...
CIA: Russia influenced election to help Trump win

My "blind" comment was no more snarky than the statement to which it was directed. I then responded a few posts later to the non-snarky portion. And I fully understand that I'm no expert when it comes to snark. There are clearly plenty others on this board who are far more accomplished. I admire their talent.No, you're being obnoxious when, instead of an intelligent response, you make some snarky remark about being blind. But, it's NS, so have at it.

It is doubtful that the snarkiness of the snarkiest can not be topped no matter how snarky you try to be.

After the head of the CIA questioned whether Trump fully understood the complexities of our relationship with Russia, Trump accuses him of leaking the dossier.
President-elect Trump said:
it's my stand against the creeping tyranny of prescriptivismAre you asking a question without proper punctuation
he has zero clue what he is doing, he is just "shaking things up" to save the day for 'murica and the rubes are eating it up like it is candy
This behavior reminds me of the several times I've had incompetent managers come in to business organizations.
1. Float a lot of significantly different ideas that make people think you are "shaking things up"
2. Be extremely belligerent when anyone questions your motives/understanding.
3. Rinse and repeat until you're found out.
Managers in the business world typically get paid a large amount of money. It is important for their managers to feel as if they have made a good decision and will get a good return on investment, so it is important for the newly hired manager to show that they are doing something. No matter the fact that they most often do not understand the domain nor the institutional knowledge that comes from having been part of the team for awhile.
Trump stinks of this behavior. It's always the other guys fault. Any challenge to ideas about bringing in outside shady business partners labels you a non team player. Make grandiose promises about reaching goals without even bothering to understand the goals or the things limiting their realization.
Just an aside. The whole John Lewis thing is ridiculous. He made his name utilizing peaceful protest to enact change. Trump was the most widely known person who questioned the legitimacy of Obama's presidency for at least 7 years. To say that Lewis is not respecting the office while not decrying the behavior of our soon to be Clown in Chief is so absurd that I have no idea how you can possibly do the mental gymnastics to make that worldview fit. Then again it seems you are actually happy with our soon to be Cheeto in Chief so in a way it makes sense.
edit: Dang it 92 I didn't read the end before I hit reply so I missed your "shake things up" post. Not trying to plagiarize.

Whether he is or is not compromised by Russia, he's sure as hell repeating their talking points at every opportunity.
since I'd never heard of Chris Hedges I googled this quote and found the long version
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item...overnments_report_on_alleged_hacking_by_russi
He is a TV presenter on RT America, a cable channel funded and run by The Russian Government did Trump tweet that or did you find that source yourself?
And I'll edit quickly and say, please ask a Ukrainian if Russia is or is not a threat. What a joke

you see the Timeline that showed he started backing down on Ukraine and Crimea right after Manafort met with the Ruskies? Coincidence I'm sure
