What a CreepSeason 31, episode 3Host Sonia Mansfield and Erin Lim from Bitch Talk Podcast talk about Dick Cheney.The former VP rebranded “torture” as “enhanced interrogation” and argued that if the president does something, then it’s legal. Gee, that’s sounds familiar. He pushed our country into a war that killed a lot of civilians and U.S. servicemembers. Oh, and he personally profited from it. Dick got a redemption arc from the media and society after he announced he would vote for Kamala Harris rather than Predator Trump in the 2024 election.
