more ineffectual

The hope for freedom hasn’t died, as seen in recent protests from Hong Kong to Tehran, but so far these demonstrations have been even more ineffectual than the Arab Spring.

The more ponderous the process, the more ineffectual Congress will look, and the more time a stunned and reeling president will have to regroup.

Making him look more ineffectual was striding alongside world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, the 2016 U.S.

But it does seem plausible that his embarrassment over the actions he has taken makes him appear even more ineffectual than he is.

Of course, we end up doing a lot more ineffectual handwringing over guns than ever before: The frequency of mass shootings in America has skyrocketed.
