Problem:Band release official statement asking voters to ‘focus on the bigger picture’, after singer Michael Stipe slams Donald Trump’s ‘moronic charade of a campaign’ 
  
 Michael Stipe may have sung that he “felt fine” at the prospect of “the end of the world as we know it”, but his temper has obviously been frayed by Donald Trump, after the Republican presidential frontrunner used one of REM’s songs at a rally. 
  
 Trump walked out to the REM song It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) at a rally in Washington, DC, on Wednesday and the band seemed none too impressed to find themselves dragged into the political arena on his behalf. 
  
 “Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you – you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men,” Stipe said, in a statement tweeted by REM bassist Mike Mills. “Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign.” Though the statement spoke broadly about “the lot” of politicians, Mills prefaced it with the stipulation that it reflected Stipe’s opinion on Trump. 
  
 Mike Mills (@m_millsey) Upcoming is Michael's statement about Trump using our song at the rally. His opinions are HIS, please do not tweet angry responses at me. 
  
 Mike Mills (@m_millsey) Personally, I think the Orange Clown will do anything for attention. I hate giving it to him. 
  
 If that message weren’t quite clear enough, the jangle-pop indie band had already posted an official collective statement on Facebook before releasing Stipe’s unfiltered opinion: 
  
 While we do not authorize or condone the use of our music at this political event, and do ask that these candidates cease and desist from doing so, let us remember that there are things of greater importance at stake here. The media and the American voter should focus on the bigger picture, and not allow grandstanding politicians to distract us from the pressing issues of the day and of the current presidential campaign.” 
  
 The LA Times once named REM one of the “most liberal and politically correct rock groups” in the US, and the band supported former presidential candidate John Kerry on the Vote for Change tour in 2004. The tour raised money for the two organisations that registered voters and campaigned for the Democratic party. 
  
 In the three short months since Trump announced he was running to “make America great again”, the mercurial real estate mogul has gone from strength to strength despite a number of controversies, any one of which, by conventional political wisdom, might have triggered a candidate’s decline. 
  
 The controversy appears only to have emboldened Trump, who is surging in the polls and maintains a strong lead over his Republican challengers. 
  
 Trump and his unorthodox presidential bid have so far survived a series of scandals that begin at the launch of his presidential campaign when he branded Mexicans who come to the US as criminals, drug dealers and rapists. The comments drew heavy fire from candidates on both sides of the aisle, incited international condemnation and cost him several business deals. Nevertheless, Trump’s polling numbers only improved, and, unabashed, he has claimed he is even confident that he will “win the Latino vote” (although polling does not back him up on that point). 
  
 Trump again courted controversy when he said that 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who spent five and a half years a North Vietnamese jail, where he was tortured, was “not a war hero”. Amid widespread criticism for his remarks, Trump announced the formation of Veterans for Trump, several of whom later told the Guardian they were not aware they had been enlisted to join the group. Again, his poll numbers continued to rise. 
  
 In July decades-old allegations resurfaced that the Republican presidential candidate had raped his then wife, Ivana, to which his attorney inaccurately retorted: “You can’t rape your spouse.” Trump distanced himself from the lawyer, and his ex-wife walked back her accusations. 
  
 Trump again sparked trouble when he provoked a feud with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who questioned his record of sexist and misogynistic name-calling during the first Republican debate. The candidate bemoaned unfair treatment, and in a later interview with CNN, he insinuated that Kelly had asked him tough questions because she was menstruating. (He said the remark was misinterpreted.) Neither of these controversies seemed to negatively affect his standing. 
  
 Trump’s most recent insult was directed at Republican challenger Carly Fiorina, the party’s only female contender in the presidential race. During an interview with Rolling Stone, Trump was quoted as responding to an image Fiorina on the news by saying: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?” 
  
 Fiorina told Kelly on Fox News that she considered his remarks to be “very serious”. On Thursday, Trump said he had made the remark in a “jocular manner” and that he was not referring to her appearance. “I’m talking about persona, I’m not talking about look,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday morning. 
  
 He then complained of a double-standard. “When I get criticized constantly about my hair, nobody does a story about, ‘oh, isn’t that terrible, they criticized Donald Trump’s hair.’” 
  
 While a recent poll in Iowa showed Republican challenger Ben Carson neck and neck with Trump, the first time in more than a month Trump was not leading every poll in an early voting state. 
  
 Nevertheless, average polling in the state shows Trump with a strong lead that remains in the double digits and a recent CNN/ORC survey Trump registered his highest national number yet at 32%.

 This isn’t the first time a rock act have spoken out against their music being played at a political event. In June, Neil Young slammed Trump’s use of hit Rockin’ in the Free World, and Bruce Springsteen expressed his disdain at former president Ronald Reagan using his track Born in the USA in the former actor’s 1984 election campaign. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. ||||| WASHINGTON (AP) — Debate on the Iran nuclear deal morphed into full-blown political spectacle Wednesday as Donald Trump and Ted Cruz held a rally to denounce it, Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a speech to praise it and congressional Republicans turned on each other angrily as they grasped for a last-ditch play to stop it.

 The maneuvering and speechifying did little to change the reality: Barring unlikely success of an eleventh-hour gambit by the House, the international accord aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions will move ahead. Even if Congress succeeds in passing legislation aimed at undermining it by next week's deadline, President Barack Obama would veto such a measure and minority Democrats command enough votes to sustain him. 
  
 But that seemed only to inflame GOP opponents as Congress convened for its first full day back after a five-week summer recess that hardened partisan divisions around the accord. Republicans turned up the rhetoric against the deal at a rally outside the Capitol, while inside, House conservatives searched for a legislative way to undermine it. 
  
 Across town, Clinton praised the accord. "Diplomacy is not the pursuit of perfection. It is the balancing of risk," she said in a speech at the Brookings Institution. Either the deal moves forward, she said, or "we turn down a more dangerous path leading to a far less certain and riskier future." 
  
 The message was far different at the Capitol rally headlined by GOP presidential candidates Trump and Cruz denouncing the Iran accord, which Republicans contend will not stop the Iranians from developing a nuclear bomb. The gathering featured conservative favorites, including former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, in front of several thousand people who waved flags and banners denouncing Obama. One placard showed a smiling president alongside a billowing mushroom cloud over New York City. 
  
 "Never ever, ever in my life have I seen a deal so incompetently negotiated as our deal with Iran," Trump told the crowd. "We are led by very, very stupid people. We cannot let it continue." 
  
 The congressional resolution, on its own, wouldn't reverse a multi-country agreement already blessed by the United Nations. A vote of disapproval, however, could signal Congress' readiness to introduce new sanctions at the risk of causing Tehran — and other governments — to abandon the accord and blame the U.S. for the failure. 
  
 Along with the criticism of Obama, the crowd outside the Capitol booed lustily as speakers mentioned Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Conservatives long dissatisfied with their leadership demanded that McConnell and Boehner come up with a way to stop the deal. 
  
 No such solution seemed likely given strong Democratic unity and Obama's veto pen. But the conservative resistance was enough to force House GOP leaders to cancel the start of debate on a disapproval resolution and call an emergency meeting on how to move forward. 
  
 Leaders hastily developed a Plan B involving votes on several related measures: one to specify that the Obama administration had not properly submitted the accord to Congress; a second, bound-to-fail vote to approve the deal and a third to prevent Obama from lifting congressionally mandated sanctions on Iran. Debate and votes were to begin Thursday. 
  
 "We need to pull every tool out of the toolbox to stop this bad deal," said Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas. 
  
 The rebels were egged on by Sen. Cruz, who has repeatedly allied himself with House conservatives to thwart the plans of GOP leaders. He and others argued that the disapproval vote should be delayed, contending the 60-day deadline clock on the congressional review period can't really start until lawmakers get information on separate agreements negotiated with Iran by the International Atomic Energy Agency. 
  
 Yet the maneuvering appeared to be moving forward without the blessing of the powerful pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, which has led opposition to the accord. An official with the group said its preference was for a straight vote on the disapproval resolution — something Senate Democrats are trying to block with a filibuster. 
  
 The fate of that effort remained uncertain. In the Senate debate did begin on the resolution, with some describing the vote, which could occur yet this week, as among the most consequential in their lifetimes. Underscoring the occasion, McConnell urged all senators to be present, though most Democrats and some Republicans ignored the request. 
  
 Congress has until Sept. 17 — a week from Thursday — to pass a disapproval resolution of the Iran deal, under legislation passed earlier this year giving lawmakers the right to review it. Republican leaders did not sound receptive to conservative attempts to change the terms of the debate. 
  
 "Right now we've got strong bipartisan opposition to this deal. It's my opinion that we're far better off focusing on the substance" rather than the timing of a vote, said GOP Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. 
  
 The White House and Democratic lawmakers were dismissive of the conservative moves. "Sounds like a plan hatched up at Tortilla Coast on a Tuesday night," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz, naming a restaurant near the Capitol where congressional conservatives meet.

Solution:
A Washington, DC, rally against the Iran nuclear deal brought together GOP hopefuls and conservative stars, including Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, and Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty—and infuriated REM in the process. Trump took the stage at the Tea Party rally to "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," prompting REM singer Michael Stipe to say, in a statement tweeted by bassist Mike Mills: "Go f--- yourselves, the lot of you—you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men. Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign." Mills said that was Stipe's opinion and that he personally hates giving attention to the "Orange Clown." In a statement on Facebook, the band said that while it didn't want its music used at the event, it urges voters to look at the "bigger picture" instead of "grandstanding politicians," the Guardian reports. At the Capitol rally, the crowd booed when politicians like John Boehner were mentioned and cheered when Trump told them that he had never seen a deal "so incompetently negotiated as our deal with Iran" and that we "are led by very, very, stupid people," the AP reports. The Wall Street Journal reports that the rally also featured a rare appearance from Jim Gilmore, who is running for president but hasn't cracked the top 15 in the polls.
