Paul Krugman’s really enjoying today’s impeachment proceedings. And why wouldn’t he? After all, they’re providing a great showcase for the “Deep State,” which guys like him used to say didn’t exist.
According to Krugman, Fiona Hill and David Holmes, who are testifying today, are model citizens of the Deep State:

One side lesson from this inquiry is that the Deep State contains some really impressive, principled people. Which is why Trump hates it so much. https://t.co/5at4dcPBMN

OK, Paul.

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.
