i love that we transitioned seamlessly from “the Deep State is a Steve Bannon fever dream” to “the Deep State is real and it’s SPECTACULAR.”

We could maybe chalk this one up to Paul Krugman attempting to be sarcastic, but the fact that his beloved New York Times recently put out a piece praising the “patriotic public servants” of the Deep State makes it a little tougher to give him the benefit of the doubt.
