@VictorianCHO You led us to this place. Your calm, unwavering belief in us and our ability to achieve the impossible. You knew us better than we knew ourselves. Today, over 10,000 Victorians wish to thank you. Maybe one day you will have time to read the heartfelt messages
from many thousands of ordinary people whose lives you've saved or touched in some way. You've paid a high price for this 'privilege' - we've watched as you made those sacrifices.
History will remember you as a brave man who rescued a nation from sure catastrophe.

The poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling is thoroughly apropos of this moment, Kavanaugh's performance, & @LindseyGrahamSC
IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you..,
IF
If you can keep your head when all about you

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you..,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

In under 6 hours today, over 60 men women who attended Georgetown Prep or sister schools that knew #BrettKavanaugh well during his time in high school signed a letter to directly refute the allegations released earlier today by Michael Avenatti. #ConfirmKavanaugh 1/5 
Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein:
We are men and women who knew Brett Kavanaugh well in high school. We have seen reports today that Julie Swetnick, who says she graduated from Gaithersburg High School, submitted a declaration to the Committee 2/5

alleging that Brett participated in horrific conduct during high school, including targeting girls for gang rape. Nonsense. We never witnessed any behavior that even approaches what is described in this allegation. It is reprehensible. 3/5
Know what people don't realize? The consequences that come with labeling someone, something they're not. Even if #Kavanaugh is proven innocent, the label itself will stick with him the rest of his life.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my situation.....cont.

When I was 12. Maybe 13. I had one good friend that I hung out with. Day In and Day Out. We were inseparable. He stayed with me, I stayed with him. For some reason, even though he was the one who was considered the "bad kid", his parents never really liked me.....cont.
He got in trouble at a young age and was sent away. To where, I've never known. His little brother, a couple years younger, used to get bullied all the time. While my friend was away, I stuck around and protected the little brother. Even stayed and hung out a couple times...cont.
