• SPECIAL COMMENT: As debate day arrives there could not be a more potent nor ominous metaphor for our political crisis than the one in DC. There, a 3000-pound replica of the Lincoln Memorial is … at this hour … melting in the hot sun.
• As Trump tries to destroy democracy and Biden tries to destroy Trump, the climate disaster that has already begun and on which Trump would apply the finishing touches, has so imperiled the six-foot tall wax statue of Lincoln outside a Washington elementary school, that the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities has removed Lincoln’s head “to prevent it from falling and breaking.” Can you think of worse imagery?
• Polling indicates more than half of voters expect to watch tonight, and that a rather startling 11% actually expect to have their opinion of who to vote for changed by the results. The three groups produce the most voters who feel that way are the ones in which Trump has had the most unlikely growth: voters under 35, African-Americans, and Hispanics. If Trump actually blows that growth tonight he’s cooked.
• And we will either have a debate right after the Supreme Court rules on this Trumpian “Presidential Immunity” nonsense, or the night before it. It becomes a simple, tangible truth that if the Court invents this immunity and declares this nation a monarchy, the king won’t be Trump but Biden and he can take any steps he wants without fear of consequence. It’s kind of hard to believe but it is literally true that if SCOTUS creates immunity today, Biden could have Trump arrested tonight — during the debate.

• THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jamaal Bowman didn’t lose because a Nevada Republican called him names, or because AIPAC spent millions, or because progressives are in retreat. He lost because of Jamaal Bowman. The sports TV world is in such trouble the Miami Marlins are now in essence PAYING its fans to watch its game broadcasts.

If so, they just paid their fans to watch their team lose their series against the Kansas City Royals (who appear to have recovered from their recent slump).

• And Hung Cao, the nut job GOP candidate for Senate in Virginia, tries to get out in front of a huge scandal by blaming a USA Today story that he may have padded his military resume on … the font their reporter used in their email.

• THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: He should’ve been one of the greatest of all-time in the news business. But bad luck and bad survival skills combined to lay Will Spens low: The Most Talented Man I Ever Worked With.

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
