Since you are a member of an English grammar forum, please try to use careful English. What does 'dunno' represent? Pointing appears to serve as the head of an absolute adverbial clause; -sapping is used as an adjective suffix; filibustering is used as an adjective; being is the head of an absolute adjective clause.
