First post-debate poll is out and Trump is winning! The only demographic Biden is winning are bitter and childless older millennials and Gen Xers. Meanwhile, Trump is winning both the youth and elderly votes! [https://www.realclearpolitics.com/docs/2023/NY_Post_GOP_National_Aug_25_2023.pdf]

Count on Saxi to keep me amused.
Also, auto-correct kept changing that to abused.

Newly popular songwriter insists Republican conservative politicians are weaponizing his song which is also aimed at them.

Newly popular songwriter says he was criticizing politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Some of the lyrics of "Rich Men North of Richmond" seem more right-wing.
But “That song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, you know?” he said. “It’s a lot bigger than Joe Biden. That song was written about the people on that stage and a lot more, not just them.”

Meanwhile, less than 40% and dropping have a favorable opinion of Donald Trump - consolidated multiple polls. - 538.

The YouGov poll, too early, shows Biden 39 and Trump 36 in the presidential race.

Edit - I guess pushing undecideds(?) I also see it at Biden 47 and Trump 41.

Thank you, Democrats!

Donald Trump has turned his Georgia mugshot into a record-breaking fundraising haul.

The former president has raised $7.1 million since he was booked at an Atlanta jail Thursday evening, according to figures provided first to POLITICO by his campaign. On Friday alone, Trump raised $4.18 million, making it the single-highest 24-hour period of his campaign to date, according to a person familiar with the totals.

The campaign’s fundraising has been powered by merchandise it has been selling through his online store. After Trump was taken into custody, the campaign began selling shirts, posters, bumper stickers and beverage coolers bearing Trump’s scowling mugshot. The items bear the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER!” and range in price from $12 to $34.

Trump’s campaign says it has raised nearly $20 million in the last three weeks, during which time Trump was indicted on charges related to his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and for trying to overturn the Georgia vote count in the 2020 election. That figure is more than half of what Trump raised during his first seven months in the 2024 race.

Trump's prison rap is burning a path straight to the top of the charts!

Few people have been able to chronicle the saga of Donald Trump with more creativity and flair than Emmy and Grammy nominee Randy Rainbow.

In Billboard - 45 Times Parody Singer Randy Rainbow Roasted Donald Trump

https://www.billboard.com/lists/randy-rainbow-donald-trump-parody-videos/

“Ya Got Trump Trouble” was Randy Rainbow’s first-ever political satire song about Trump. Randy made this video in response to Trump’s official GOP nomination in 2016, and it got more than 4 million views on Facebook. In this song, Randy warns the American people of the impending chaos that Trump will unleash should he win the 2016 election, all to the tune of “Ya Got Trouble” from Music Man.

To the recent...

"Don't Arraign on His Parade!"

Taking a stab at the Funny Girl classic “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” Rainbow laid into the former president for his ongoing legal troubles. At one point, he literally conjures up a scoreboard detailing Trump’s four indictments and 91 total felony charges. Dressed in full Fanny Brice drag, Rainbow zeroes in specifically on Trump’s massive popularity among Republican voters despite his looming legal problems. “He won’t be bested when he’s arrested, he just bamboozles and bluffs,” Rainbow belts on the song’s second verse. “Ooh, ain’t he nutty? He can run, but he can’t win a race in handcuffs.”
