(13,066 posts)Pschitt is the sound a soda makes when poured, and also a Perrier brand name. It is also a pun on the English shit.

But they really don't. Like trump, many are ignorant, arrogant, and incapable of self reflection. SAD!

Trump has his supporters here too... it is far beyond my understanding !
I'll post later a comment from someone pretending being American and my answer.
I'll try to translate a few other comments, you'll see how ignorant are Trumpig's European supporters...

I have nothing to do, just to rest.
Our health system is really great : it not only covers almost all fees but gives many advantages. One of them is a domestic help for the next 3 months. I could also had warm meals twice a day, but I declined : I prefer my cooking
The domestic help is not only for one or two hours per day : it is a full time.
Of course, we have problems too, but to the least, everyone is taken in charge for what concern education and health.
