RUSH EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “Folks, I didn’t really want to start the monologue by talking about the war, but in honor of this administration, I went into this without a plan. So, we gotta talk about it. I guess we have to start with that. I say “war,” because it sure looks like a war, and Trump keeps calling it a war. But Congress never declared it a war, and MAGA was promised “no new wars,” so the White House sent out a list of talking points to congressional Republicans, telling them in no uncertain terms, that when a reporter asks “Can you promise the American people this will not be a long, drawn-out war?” The answer to give is “these are targeted, major combat operations.” So it’s worse than a war. It’s a war that got a thesaurus for Christmas.”
