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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

2.5k raised on GoFundMe

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week 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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week 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".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

How do I donate negative amounts?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Shooting yourself in the foot

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago

Donating thoughts and prayers 🙏

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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] 17 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week 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] 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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] 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week 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] 9 points 1 week ago

Ts and Ps 🙏

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 114 points 1 week 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] 24 points 1 week 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] 5 points 1 week 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] 6 points 1 week ago

Better he should sell one of his kidneys.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week 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] 6 points 1 week 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!
