It’s Thursday! Maundy Thursday! Today David Waldman reintroduces the word “turpitude” to our colloquial lexicon, and it’s about time, there’s a lot of it going around.
Titan of turpitude Trump received another very tardy gag order. When will judges learn?
Trump officials are hired primarily to aid in Donald’s turpitude, and thus knowingly endanger their own careers. Assistant attorney general Jeffrey Clark could face disbarment for supporting Trump’s 2020 coup. A California judge has now recommended disbarring John Eastman for being the chief architect of one of the January 6 plots, and of course, moral turpitude. Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents detailing their bad-faith arguments and turpitudinous cloud of confusion chaos. Lev Parnas can tell you all about that stuff.
Joe Lieberman, who was ok as ALF’s dad, I guess, but got pretty irritating following the 2000 election, is much less irritating today. Turpitude never entered his mind.
CPAC's Matt Schlapp dropped $480K to get one sexual battery lawsuit dropped. Now, what will he do about all the rest? Schlapp and Mrs. Schlapp worked to discredit and defame their first accuser, so they seem pretty turpitudinous.
You don't hear much about Jeffery Epstein’s island now that the right wing has been implicated. Expect to hear much less about it soon.
