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.

$3,000? Why won't he use the money trump saved him on eggs?

[–] III@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Checking conservative media, they are saying Trump saved him $2,999.99 in egg costs... So close, sadly not enough.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stupid fucks. Got what he deserved.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm not so sure she did, though. Honestly being deported might be better for her than being stuck married to this jackhole, as sad as that is to say.

[–] III@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I am waiting for the follow up story about her leaving him the moment she gets out.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

For a second, I thought that was @DemolitionRanch from YT (just an older photo or something)

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

You wanna know what you could have done to avoid it? Not vote for the obvious fascist. He literally told you he wanted to do this since 2016.

[–] Floppybutton@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Ts and Ps 🙏

[–] eric5949@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Isnt this the same dumbfuck who still supports trump after they took his wife? FAFO.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It's so frustrating that Camila doesn't deserve any of this, but the person saying they wouldn't change their decision and does deserve to see consequences will refuse to actually feel them.

Like, I want her out, but how dare this asshole say he regrets nothing while asking others to bail him out for the thing he voted for and still wants more of? Why is a social safety net OK in this case to this guy, but not for anyone else?

The detentions are a for-profit endeavor, the people are being treated inhumanely, and this is all some Nazi-level shit. I want all the allies that can be won away from the neofascists. I fucking hate this particular dude's refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It's maddening.

Free Camila.

... I fucking hate this particular dude’s refusal to recognize the taste of boot leather though, even as it impacts his supposed loved ones. It’s maddening.

i got family members like this; people whose spouses and children alike who are impacted by trump support and i wish i knew how to respond other than simply staying away because doing so also impacts the others around them.

i also wish i knew how to respond to the people who are impacted, but stay by their side nonetheless. like blue maga, they're enabling this behavior, but can't/won't see it.

Yeah, free her from this shitty husband.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

Of course he has no regrets.

  1. He proudly voted for Trump, therefore he has no compassion for anyone who is not himself
  2. He proudly voted for Trump, a man known to value women only as a commodity. Why would he worry about this wife when he can get a new one at equal or better value?
  3. He proudly voted for Trump, a known grifter and therefore probably appreciates a good grift. These donations are likely going to support himself and he'll gladly let his wife be the face of "illegal immigrants can look like anyone."

How could he have any regrets? He's suddenly getting so much attention. See points 1 and 2.

Shooting yourself in the foot

[–] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Truthfully, I don’t feel bad for either of them. He’s a moron and she married the douche.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah no. Consequences of actions. Didn't your mother teach you?

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Better he should sell one of his kidneys.

Such a cringe line. The land of the free was declared over fifty years before slavery was abolished. America is a shithole.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. We're going to have to set feelings aside long enough to think carefully.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a lot of thinking going on while the U.S. government strips the rights of Americans and endangers many lives globally.

What will putting feelings aside achieve? In order for me to stop being angry at what America is doing, I would have to stop giving a fuck about the atrocities of deporting legal residents who protest or the attempted erasure of the queer community or the genocides they support etc, etc.

Making decisions from passions tend to have unforseen effects.

[–] don@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Fuck no, Brad, donations for rich people and leftists, and we know you’re neither. Trump the fuck up and get you 6-9 other jobs to pay for what you want. Lord helps those who help themselves, and your own bootstraps n shit.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

And he's nearly a third of the way there O_O

[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

The audacity!
