1. K and R

[Jan Levinson]

2. Happy to be of service!

Thanks for the welcome! . Also, could someone tell me what “k & r” means? LOL, I’ve been seeing it a lot.

[radical noodle]

3. Kick & Rec

Or kicked to the top and recommended. A way to keep the post going. Welcome!

BTW, the DU Rec button on the OP is the "rec" part.

[pnwmom]

4. Happily.

K means "kicked" -- anytime there is a response, even with just a single letter like K, a post gets "kicked" to the top of the forum so other people can see it.

R means "recommended." If 5 people recommend a thread, then it starts appearing on the Greatest Page, which you can go to from the Home Page..

[RandomAccess]

5. We need to flood whatever media contacts we have with this.

[eppur_se_muova]

6. Rec'ing because the original thread has NO REC BUTTON ?!? nt

[pnwmom]

7. Right. The original thread was buried inside responses to another OP. Unfortunately, you can't rec

individual posts.

[eppur_se_muova]

8. LOL, didn't notice it wasn't the OP ! nt

[bronxiteforever]

9. Kick and recommend.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. i dont need no stinkin rec button to rec this .

[MojoWrkn]

11. But the barn doors are opened and the horse is ready for his escape! What can be done to help

Franken with this info? Can be useful only to hurt Tweeden/Don Jr. but they won't care - they'll be celebrating!

[Mrs. Overall]

12. Good work, Jan Levinson!

[Maggiemayhem]

34. Yes Thank you

[Upthevibe]

13. Thank you, Jan Levinson!

This is interesting information......

14. Up next

I want someone to take a close look at Kemplin. I saw her on MSNBC and she does not look mentally well. Has the look of someone on many anti depressants. Her story I think is made up in her head which is sad. But the picture says everything, his hand was nowhere near her breast. One big thing to point out is she said she was sexually assaulted three months before and the National Guard began an investigation into Kemplin’s allegations of “indecent assault,” but she was ultimately told the the behavior, while inappropriate, did not constitute assault.

According to her though, it gave her PTSD.

17. Yep. Funny how there are SO MANY times, but NONE of the pics taken @ the time show it.

Funny, huh?

[LisaL]

18. And yet she voted for Donald Trump.

[Denzil_DC]

20. That sounds like a sad story.

If true, I hope she finds a way to mend.

But I'm assured by some Big Noises on DU that the media always do their research, and we can't possibly doubt that they've done due diligence on the bona fides of those making allegations against Franken.

[Honeycombe8]

15. No mistake that Don Jr. tweeted a snarky sarcastic tweet after Franken resigned.

And Tweedledy says, "I'm shocked! this happened! That was not my intention!" Oh, really? Really? We're not stupid like Trumpers.

[Amaryllis]

16. Can someone who tweets tweet this to Rachel? Here are all the contacts to tweet for her show:

Better yet, can a bunch of people tweet it to all the people below?

I just emailed it.

She would cover it if anyone would.

TWEET US: The TRMS Twitter army looks roughly like this:

@Maddow is Rachel’s personal account.
@MaddowBlog tweets links and other blog content.
@SteveBenen - blogger extraordinaire
@CoryGn - executive producer Cory Gnazzo
@Oleta - senior producer Laura Conaway
@TriciaMcKinney - senior planning producer you recognize from the News Dump prize segments
@WillAtWork helps maintain the site

23. Do you think she would cover it?

In this environment, I think even bringing it up, would be equated to victim blaming--which is the danger of a mob mentality--any discussion of motives, credibility, or nuance is just another example of the victims being silenced. Accountability should require that, yes your allegation(s) have a right to be heard, but it seems it has morphed into you have a right to be believed--this is a very dangerous overshoot of the pendulum.

[Amaryllis]

24. It's worth a try. I think she might. She doesnt have to say anyting that would be

construed as victim blaming. It's news that they were Twitter buddies as long ago as 2011.

[stuffmatters]

21. Tweeden's tweets show she's desparate for Trump Jr & Trump Family attention & validation.

She appears to have been a starstruck Trump Family "useful idiot" as far back as 2011. Crushing all over Don Jr and fantasizing, at minimum, to get on Celebrity Apprentice.

[LisaM]

26. Yes, I agree with that analysis.

Pretty much how I saw it, except that you summed it up better.

[arthritisR_US]

22. She was also coached for weeks prior to her announcement by

her radio mate and Roger Stone.

[Delphinus]

25. Did not know.

Thank you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I hope Franken hires the best PI in the country

and has this whole mess investigated and writes a book about it. The intentional ratfcking by Leeann Tweeden and her scumbag pals Stone, Hannity and Don Jr. needs to be exposed. And about Don Jr. - all I can say is, the douche doesn't fall far from the bag.

[orangecrush]

29. on edit...

Has this been confirmed as authentic anywhere else yet?


We might do well to see that it isn't fake before jumping aboard?

[nolabear]

30. How would one share this on other media w/o sharing the whole thread?

I have Twitter but I'm kind of a twit about it.

[Achilleaze]

31. k and r

[grantcart]

32. People do know that she was a regular on Hannity right?

[TCJ70]

33. She also pushed birther crap. n/t

[pansypoo53219]

35. do i smell borsht?

[R B Garr]

36. K&R, good reminders about Tweeden's partisan hackery

from the fake news crowd. Looks like she did her bit for her pals.
