"Trump’s admission that he formed his opinions based on his instincts, or books written long after the fact, or by listening to 'different people' is devastating to his planned advice of counsel defense. Thanks to his own megalomania, which won’t allow him to credit anyone else with telling him what to do, Trump has now admitted publicly and emphatically that he wasn’t acting on advice of counsel."

The ACT's chief psychiatrist has been tasked with reviewing the circumstances around Monday's attack, including whether systemic change was needed.

In a statement, the ACT government described the incident as "distressing" and said Chief Minister Andrew Barr and Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury had met with police and health officials.

"We're obviously keen to know why this individual was able to make their way to the ANU campus," Mr Rattenbury said.

"DC councilmember launches plan to address violence 'crisis' in the District"

Yes, I've read the article. Can someone explain to me how this is not the same old bloody recipe rehashed and reused for the umpteenth time?

"OMG! Crime!"

"Oh! I know. Let's toughen our laws and pay a bit of lip service to social justice in the hope that this time, contrarily to the 19395838 times we've gone down this road, it will work!"

Stop paying lip service to social justice. You won't make a dent in crime until you do this.

“'Our history and tradition may support some limits on an intoxicated person’s right to carry a weapon, but it does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage,' the Fifth Circuit ruled back in August."

In short, America — MAGA above all — thinks ANYONE should have a "right" to a gun, regardless of his/her history of addiction or drunkenness.

Own petard, meet hoist.

"One ironic fact: There’s a case out of the conservative Fifth Circuit that has held the law in question here unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent. The statute, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3), bars anyone who is an 'unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance' from possessing a gun."

About the charges just filed by Trump-appointee David Weiss against Hunter Biden:

"This crime is nearly always charged as something tacked on to some bigger crime, like murder or robbery. It’s almost never used to prosecute someone on its own. Just imagine how many people, especially in gun-loving red state America, are unlawful users of or addicted to controlled substances while in possession of a firearm."
