https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/won ... 0%8B-back/
"Do you believe that we, in terms of the United States, need to pay a hundred cents on the dollar, or do you think that there's actually ways that we can renegotiate that debt?" CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him.

"Yeah, I think — look, I have borrowed, knowing that you can pay back with discounts. And I have done very well,
Criticism and ridicule were immediate. So this morning he was on CNN trying to claim he didn't actually say what he said:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-bac ... NlYwNzYw--
“I said if we can buy back government debt at a discount -- in other words if interest rates go up and we can buy bonds back at a discount -- if we are liquid enough as a country, we should do that,” he said.
That's not at all what he said. Answering "yeah" to the question of whether we can renegotiate debts then saying "I have borrowed knowing you can pay back with discounts" is not saying what he claims he said. Saying "you can pay back with discounts" is not saying "we can buy back government debt at a discount." The lying SOB was lying....again. And he does that crap all the time. He says something stupid or obviously untrue and tries to claim he never said it.
Strong the butthurt in this one is, obi-wan....

Except he's lying again. And even more except if you listen to what the conversation was about you once again see the guy has some issues. He had to talk about what a stud he is and how Maples really wanted him, etc., etc. The guy is a sick puppy.
Envy is such an ugly emotion, John. :ohno:

This.

Trump isn't in a position to "call for anything" yet.

I could call for a constitutional amendment requiring that 10% of the federal budget be earmasked to NSA every year.

My "call for action" holds just as much weight as Trump's.

You are really reaching there, JSO. :coffee:

This is funny a crap watching you implode. :nod:

At first, it was really funny to watch you implode while thinking you'd recover. Then it got funny in a way that one laughs at someone else's obsession...but you feel sorry for them. But now, it is gawdamned funny as crap...as in, "BlackLivesMatter" funny. Your obsession, and blocking out of reality, is a whomping bit of fun where everyone is laughing at you...and definitely not feeling sorry for you. :rofl:

People, he clearly called for something then said he didn't call for it. He's on friggin' video calling for it then on audio saying nobody called for it.

There's a point in which you have to somehow shake loose of your hypnotic attachment to this guy and realize that he is indeed a pathological liar.

Trump is worse than Clinton is in that area and if you don't concede that you're just not being objective. You're buying into the "received wisdom" instead of trying to look objectively at the information out there.

Like Politifact. You will ignore the analysis based on ad hominem argument. You will ignore the fact that the frequency of false statements made by Trump DWARFS the frequency of false statements made by Clinton.

Can you cite any type of analysis along the lines of what Politifact does supporting your view that Clinton lies more than Trump does?

Oh and there's that thing about how he said that one reason you should vote for him is that he was going to fund his own campaign so he wouldn't owe anything to any donors. But then we found that he was only loaning the campaign money so that he could pay himself back later and now that he's gotten past the primaries he's all in on taking money from big time donors.

That's not a "type of analysis along those lines." Politifact selects numerous statements made by each candidate and evaluates them then assigns a rating to them. And the Politifact analysis shows that Clinton has made false statements.

But it results in an assessment of the proportion of statements that are false. And, in terms of proportion, Donald Trump has made a LOT more false statements than Clinton has during the primary period.

Simply pointing out false statements is not the same kind of analysis.

I would have a lot more respect for JSO being a "registered Libertarian" if he said that he was planning on voting for Gary Johnson instead of Clinton. Instead of trying to tell everyone how bad Trump is and that Hillary is somehow better for the WH, to go out and campaign for GJ. I'm sure there was some reasoning for him to do so, unless he was doing it ironically. Or wanted to impress people by claiming he were "evolved" from the two party system.

But now not only have he has shown that it was all a ruse, but he is so ingrained in the two party system that anything that threatens the status quo causes him to completely lose his shit.

Last week campaign disclosure reports revealed that Hillary Clinton had finally retired the debt from her 2008 presidential campaign—with a little help from the guy who beat her, Barack Obama. Clinton’s debt once totaled more than $20 million, although it had dwindled to about $250,000 by last year. That’s when a team of top Obama donors decided to surprise Clinton, and thank her for her loyal service, by raising enough money to pay off her bills. As secretary of state, she was forbidden from political fundraising.
In order not to run afoul of campaign finance laws, the Obama team had to find people who had not already given Clinton the 2008 maximum primary donation of $2,300 or maxed out their total federal candidate donations during the 2012 cycle ($46,200). And of course, those people also had to be warmly disposed toward Clinton and still have plenty of free cash on hand.

I've lost a lot of respect for John. Now he is simply a clown show.

Ohhhhh...Politifact says Trump lies more than Hillary. :rofl: Who gives a damn when Hillary's lies have already cost lives. Trump is campaigning. Apparently, that is a new thing to John. Trump isn't reading from some card...he isn't having his campaign test out lies and then codifying them into, "policy" sound bites (polcies that will change in a heartbeat wen it becomes advantageous). Trump called for a ban on Muslins...and then clown boy JSO says that when Trump says no one is calling for it, it is somehow a policy decision that has been brought before Congress. :rofl:

Lies aren't all equal, John. Hillary is intentionally deceitful, and divisive, in a cold, calculating way with no respect towards anyone...not even her own beliefs (which she has hidden and supplanted with her belief du jour to the masses). Her intentional appeal to Black voters, and her attack on Americans who disagree with those who she sees as the most numerous supporters, is a disgrace because she doesn't give a damn about Black people, gay people, or any other minority. She doesn't give a damn about the average Joe. Never has...never will. It is the one of the biggest use jobs in history. That is the biggest lie of all...and it is disgraceful. There is a reason that people don't like Hillary after they meet her. They hear the talk...and then realize it is all BS.

Hillary, and her people, have viciously attacked EVERYONE who opposed her. HER people started the Birther stuff. HER people forwarded the turban picture of Obama. FACT. Yet she denies any culpability...and then she tries to frame Republicans as the racists. :rofl:

JSO, you are really struggling to find hope right now. You've been exposed as a false Libertarian over and over. Your wife is part of the Republican party establishment, so YOU are the problem. :nod:

I hope Trump and Bernie put your kind in the wastebasket of the political world.
