Five inanimate objects that are more useful than Mick Mulvaney. Feel free to add to the list.

1). Cap Snafflers. I'm not kidding, folks. They really do help get stubborn lids off of jars.

2). Charcoal cat litter. I use Ever Clear, which I order from Chewy. It lasts longer, and I NEVER have cat box odors or dust...and it's unscented.

3). Canned Air. I use it for the filter in my window AC, my laptop, all kinds of things.

4). A "peg winder" for my guitar. I've played since I was a kid, and never own one, but I've gotta tell ya...changing strings has never been easier.

5). My toaster oven. Face it, microwave baked potatoes don't taste like baked potatoes. I can make one in my toaster oven without heating the whole kitchen!

But the thin single ply sheets. You know the kind,.. when you use it you always inadvertently poke your finger through it because it is just not up to the work at hand,.. or finger if you will.

Mick Mulvaney is like thin/weak toilet paper.
Just not up too the job.

He let the world know that the regime is corrupt as hell, they don't themselves know how bad they are, and they are going to continue.

He's not much for advice, though. "Get over it" isn't going to work.

Actually, I found any rock would be more useful after I ran a scientific diagnosis.

You know those things which are often-green, circular stakes or stake-like and act as a sort of horizontal pulley? They let you carelessly drag your garden hose around your yard without worrying that you are destroying your plants by turning a corner (so long as you've deployed them properly, which is a big caveat)?

Mulvaney is a bit like that... If you are conscientious and self-aware and know what you are doing, he's totally unnecessary and useless. If you are grossly irresponsible and reckless, he's totally ineffective at containing the damage. So all in all, really just ugly and pointless.

Maybe if we drench him and his boss/co-conspirator in it they will shrink into oblivion.
