Mick Mulvaney -- he tried so hard, so faithfully, so pathetically, so painfully.

Lying, sneering, believing in the fables that the TrumPutin cadre put forth, and sincerely groveling in his faithfulness to his leader. 

But, Mick accidentally told the truth and that done him in, it did.

He lost everything. Acting power over the White House staff, the Consumer Financial Protection Whatever, OMB -- all gone. Because Mick forgot   that the credo of the TrumPutin regime is to put full faith in the lie, to never admit that the lie is not the truth.

Mick admitted there had been a quid pro quo. Everyone knew it was so, but Mick said it. 

And for that moment of truth, Mick is now the envoy to Northern Ireland. Unless TrumPutin decides to build a golf club there, Mick will never be seen again among the grifters toadying up to the Obese Orange. 

Mick, we hardly knew ye -- but that was enough.
