Summary
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council Acting Chair Mike Collins and Deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof after they contradicted Trump’s claims about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
A declassified NIC report found no Maduro-directed effort behind TDA’s U.S. activity, opposing Trump’s justification for suspending Venezuelan migrants’ due-process rights.
Whistleblowers accused the officials of undermining Trump. Gabbard is relocating the NIC from the CIA to her office.
Critics warned the firings suggest intelligence is being shaped to suit political agendas, not facts.
This is a waste of time for us both it seems. Allow me to recap.
I was making a response to clarify that that was not the correct/common spelling people would associate with the term in the context you tried to use it in. Then you posted a response that literally proved my point. Then I pointed that out with screenshots and links. Now you’re deep into this trying to double down on a broken argument for something that really doesn’t matter man.
You don’t want to learn something you (almost certainly) weren’t aware of before this exchange. That’s fair. That’s your bag to carry, not mine. It’s not my job to force you agree with very minor misuses of esoteric bits of language that I happen to know a fair bit about and can (and have) backed up.
Nobody really cares, and I really should take my own advice here and stop responding, so I probably will after this.
I’m not interested in trying to sort through your hangups with a free therapy session. 🙂
Good luck.
Lol. Because you’re wrong and being insufferable about it.
You haven’t backed up anything.
Nark is recognized as correct spelling. Dictionaries don’t include misspellings in entries. You don’t also see ‘narck’ or ‘knarc’ or ‘knark’ or any other potential misspelling. Even in MW, it is describes as “a less common variant”.
‘Nark’ is a correctly spelled word. it’s also within proper grammar as I used it.
What I suspect you are trying- and not saying- is that ‘nark’ is not preferred by whatever manual of style you happen to subscribe to. Which is totally, and utterly irrelevant. We are not in a formal venue. We are in a causal venue, and you don’t get to dictate how I express myself. this is not a scientific journal, nor a newspaper. none of the style guides you might care to mention apply. Not the Chicago Manual of Style, nor any other university’s or college’s. Not the AP manual of style, or any other in-house manual of style a paper might use. Neither the AMA guide nor the APA guide, nor the Redbook.
