Host 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. Wel...

George Washington is the “Father of Our Country” and one of American history's most revered Founding Fathers. We heard tales of how brave he was and that he could not tell a lie. He also famously refused to create a fiefdom with the office of President, which means we are not stuck with someone in office unless they are duly elected. 

Like many white people of his time, he enslaved people. This is a fact...

On his website, podcasts, and videos, Portnoy shares his garbage takes on politics, tells his rape jokes, and drops the n-bomb, among other things. He’s also been accused of sexual...

They gave us grunge music, independent films, mix-tape culture, and some of the best pop culture of the late 20th century. But along with all that coolness came a hefty dose of entitlement, misogyny, and resistance to change—especially when it came to gender equali...
