At a Pennsylvania rally, the vice-president focused on Trump’s threat to use armed forces against his adversaries

Kamala Harris has said a second Trump term would be “a huge risk for America”, in a renewed effort to paint her Republican opponent as a threat to democracy, after the former president threatened to use US armed forces against those he has branded “the enemy within”.

At her own campaign rally in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, the US vice-president showed a montage of clips of Trump, including the former president saying “those people are more dangerous – the enemy from within – than Russia.”

At a speech in Coachella in California on Saturday, Trump referred to Democratic opponents as “the enemy within”, saying they posed a bigger threat to the US than the country’s foreign foes, and targeted Adam Schiff, a Democratic congressman who is running for the US Senate.

    It’s “gee willickers,” probably originated as a variant of “Jerusalem!” and about the same time (1850-1890) as “gee whiz!”

    All of which were of course ways of not quite using the name of Jesus as an expletive.

    Mailed in my votes for Harris and Schiff last week, you voted yet?
