I'm wondering if the purple in the press release's logo was deliberate and he's announcing an independent, Perot-style run. Which would be glorious.

Whether it's peddling bullshit that smells good to his target market or just huffing his own farts for so long he actually believes it I can't tell the difference anymore, but this is precisely the kind of hubris I expect from the Trump. He'll be "a man of the people" giving them what they want, freedom from the political parties oppressing them. Just get on your personal jetliner and come to my latest rally, citizens of America!

A lady I work with is like this. She even makes her own colloidal silver water at home and drinks it at work. She claims she hasn't been sick since she started on the oils and the silver and won't hear any of it when I try to tell her that correlation is not equal to causation.

She hasn't started turning blue yet but I wonder how she'll react when it starts.

Hillary Clinton can relate to the plight of the everyday American that craves a cup of coffee while being stuck in interminable meetings with lots of people. A Good Quote.

"Latte sipping liberal" has been a conservative pejorative for a while now. They usually insinuate that it's somehow effeminate and unmanly.

Latte-sipping liberal weeny manifests as a conservative straw man. Never mind the fact that a latte represents real American capitalism.

No, caffeine is not mentioned. Mormonism prohibits "wine, strong drink, tobacco, and hot drink"

The LDS authorities have decided that hot drink refers specifically and exclusively to coffee and tea.
