Isn’t it nice when bad people are held accountable? It doesn’t always happen. But when it does, it’s sweet. And very rewarding. The latest scourge on society to be held accountable for SOMETHING is nobody’s favorite brat, Donald Trump Jr.

See, Junior is being sued. This subject has not received much attention, possibly because even mentioning the spoiled progeny’s name can be mildly traumatic. In 2018, Don Blankenship was running for West Virginia Senate under the Constitution party.

Junior did not appear to like Blankenship. So being the idiot he was and is, Junior, he tweeted his hate and disgust. He also labeled Blankenship a “felon.” Blankenship indeed had legal issues. But the problem for Junior is Blankenship was never convicted of a felony. He was convicted of a misdemeanor.

Quicker than one could say, “Junior’s screwed,” Blankenship filed suit for defamation. Of course, baby Junior was not happy about this. So, the boy sought to have the case dismissed. And this week, he lost.

A United States District Court Judge has ruled that the defamation case can go forward, no doubt stunning Junior, who being the narcissist he is, most likely always expects to get what he wants without question.

Only that is not how it works in real life, and it didn’t work for Junior. Now the case will move forward. I am deeply interested in hearing Junior’s defense. Perhaps he will say that the Kracken did it?
