The New York Times has gone from insisting the deep state "doesn't exist" to admitting it's real but insisting it's totally awesome.

"One side lesson from this inquiry is that the Deep State contains some really impressive, principled people," NYT columnist Paul Krugman said Thursday on Twitter. "Which is why Trump hates it so much."

Two years earlier, they ran an article saying Trump was fighting a deep state "that doesn't exist."

Paul Krugman is "... a really impressive, principled [person]" himself. True statement.

But he's still comically wrong on every opinion he spews.

As Casey Stengel said, "You can look that up!"

:laugh: Krugman's been Kracking me up for years. That consistency in crappy (and wrong) opinions is admirable, in a way.

Looks like Krugs drew the short straw.

Words have meaning. Sometimes they don't mean what you think they mean.

Satan is a principled [person] himself and what he can do is damned impressive...
