Canada’s relatively radical fight against economic inequality is hobbled by “the government’s insistence that the chief beneficiary of that fight will be the middle class — as opposed to the poor... living up to it appears to have produced policy designs that wouldn’t otherwise make much sense.”

Watch the Completely Insane Trailer for Dinesh D'Souza's Movie About Clinton, the KKK, and His Own Federal Crime

Andy Cush · 03/07/16 02:23PM

“All crime is about stealing,” utters Dinesh D’Souza on the voiceover for his new film’s trailer, sounding like a stoned Bill Walton who accidentally caught a 7-Eleven shoplifter after wandering in for a cheeseburger-flavored hot dog. But D’Souza himself doesn’t have such quotidian concerns. What he’s worried about is the stealing of...America as we know it.

60 Minutes Fucked Up Again

Is the woman pictured above Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mother? Heh, no. That’s Kim Cattrall, the Canadian actress best known for her role on Sex and the City and best known in my heart for doing this.

Caitlyn Jenner: "Every Conservative Guy Out There Believes in Everybody's Rights"

Rich Juzwiak · 03/07/16 10:46AM

The farcical degree to which Caitlyn Jenner was willing to blindly defend Republicans was on screaming display during last night’s second season premiere of her reality show, I Am Cait. Jenner is famously conservative (last week, The Advocate published a profile in which she voiced interest in being Ted Cruz’s “trans ambassador”), but last night’s episode vividly illustrated just how little logic or thought she’s put into that affiliation given just how little Republicans advocate for (and how often they advocate against) LGBT rights.

Chinese Investors Finance Trump-Branded Kushner Tower in Exchange for Visas

Brendan O'Connor · 03/06/16 11:58PM

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has fixated on China’s increasing economic influence as exemplary of America’s failure to win anymore. He has not, however, thus far mentioned Chinese investors’ involvement in financing a Trump-branded tower in New Jersey being built by his son-in-law.
