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.

How do I donate negative amounts?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Shooting yourself in the foot

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago

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

Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏

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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

I know, he deserves what he gets. His wife doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the shed either.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

Ts and Ps 🙏

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

[–] [email protected] 82 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Considering communism has a centrally planned economy this is not analogous at all. You're thinking more in line with social programs which I do agree

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

Better he should sell one of his kidneys.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 14 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours 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!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 15 hours ago

What a fucktard

[–] [email protected] 37 points 16 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 33 minutes ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago

Sch... school? They're dismantling the public institutions keeping education accessible. If they get their way, it's going to be straight to the farm, factory, and then Republican ballot boxes 18 years later.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 17 hours ago

Use your own bootstraps.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago

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