Summary

Bradley Bartell, a Trump voter from Wisconsin, started a GoFundMe to raise $3,000 for his wife Camila Muñoz’s bond after ICE detained her.

Muñoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her work-study visa due to the pandemic and was seeking legal residency as Bartell’s spouse. She was arrested returning from a honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Bartell continues to maintain that he does not regret voting for Trump.

Since Trump’s return to office, ICE has arrested over 90,000 immigrants.

The only thing I would donate to this dipshit is my debt lol

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Hmmm I sincerely doubt any money raised by this bigot would go to free his wife...

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Doesn't regret voting for Trump but wants help getting bond money. picardFacePalm.jpg

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

Voted for asshole that promised to fuck up his life. Asshole fucks up his life. Surprised pikachu face. Doesn’t learn a lesson and asks for money.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

2.5k raised on GoFundMe

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't send money, but I've got tons of thoughts and prayers!

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 points 18 hours ago

The thoughts I'd be sending are all "fuck this dude, I hope she divorces him when she finds out this is what he voted for".

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why the fuck should anybody give this guy money to help him avoid the inevitable consequences of the policy regime that he voted in and still supports?

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Probably the same idiots that are subbing to Andrew Tate’s Hustler’s University.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Aha ha hahahahaha! Fuck you Trump long. This is the FO part of FAFO.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

How do I donate negative amounts?

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

You'd swear this was in Egypt because that dumbass is in de nile.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago

Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

You can’t fix stupid. Brad I hope you’re suffering as much as your wife.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm not against helping but in this case ....

  1. "overstayed her work-study visa" -> Break the rules and it's likely there will be consequences. The reason why does not matter. ( although the case handling officer can show sympathy if they seem the reason valid )
  2. I'm no Trump fan, but he was clear on his plans, yet he still voted for trump

So, no, I'm not donating.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah fr, this is awful PR. Of course he would vote for Trump again, he is doing exactly what he promised and this fucker knows it.

She did break the law, any way you look at it.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Getting to and staying in the country shouldn’t be so hard. To me, that seems like the fundamental issue, and so many breaking the law was a workaround to a shitty system.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Agreed. But we don't make the law my guy

Americans doing a GoFundMe is always funny to me. Like you clearly understand if you pool together money, you can make a big impact. For example when little Timmy needs a big operation and can't afford it, people can start a GoFundMe, everyone chips in a little bit of money and Timmy is covered. So if we scale that up a bit... NO, THAT'S COMMUNISM!

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

It’s racism. In America the answer is almost always racism.

Basically, with a GoFundMe, or ‘churches taking care of the poor’, or whathaveyou, you can make sure your money goes only to the poor Good Christian white folks, and none of it gets used to help those icky brown folks. Unlike government programs which have to help everyone equally.

Sending you thoughts and prayers, like you always do too, prayers are to baphomet, though

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 136 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Didn't he just say he had no regrets about voting him in?

[–] ZeroCool@lemmy.ca 95 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Never underestimate the amount of cognitive dissonance to be found in the average Trump supporter's views. These are remarkably dumb people.

[–] Auk@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Rivaling neutron stars in density.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

they became a dense black hole already.

Brad, this is what Trump does. You may succeed in raising that money, but someone else may not be so lucky. What would you say then?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Brad probably doesn't give a flying fuck what happens to other people's families. That's a core tenet of conservatism in 2025.

most likely, some form of "fuck you, got mine"

[–] rslogix89@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs… get fucked my guy. You voted for this. I would say suck an egg, but clearly you can’t afford it.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

$3000? What do we look like were make of eggs

oh man, glad I didn't have mouthful of beverage...or eggs...when I read this, well done!

[–] Helvetica@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: "He didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is."

Sheer delusion. I got news for you chump, Trump doesn't give a shit about fixing anything. He's not going to help you. He doesn't feel gratitude, he doesn't understand ethics. He already told you he only needed your vote one more time, he got it and now you're disposable.

[–] breezeblock@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

He's a really uninformed and unanalytical person. Exactly the kind of voter trump wants.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 70 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. Fuck you for asking, Bradley Bartell.

I'm going to see if it'll let me donate a penny as a get fucked gesture.

[–] girlthing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If this man were to voice any sentiments short of full-throated Trump endorsement, would it make him more likely to see his wife again?

He could be terminally stupid, or this could just be the MAGA version of respectability politics. Pretending you're still one of the good ones so the leopards stay away from your face long enough for you and your loved ones to escape.

[–] char_stats@lemm.ee 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They thought Trump was gonna make them all so rich, now they're begging for money and eggs. And it's just the beginning.

Stay in school.

Yeah, no thanks. Actions have consequences. You can visit her when they illegally deport her to some random country, could be anywhere Americans are horrible with geography.

She sounds like "the worst of the worst". He should be happy she was deported.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Good to see it's only at $800 at this time. I really hope it fails, but i have my doubts.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

You can't GoFundMe your way out of being stupid.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

My vote for Harris was my attempt at helping you. Looks like you’re gonna need some bootstraps, bud.
