he doesn't regret choice despite wife's ICE arrest

I think this says more about their relationship that it does about voting Trump

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is certainly both. I can't imagine a trump supporter having a fully healthy relationship with a female partner

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't imagine a Trump supporter who is not mentally ill.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

I have met some that I think are just mentally healthy idiots.

The guy in this article for example.

It's peak Boomer. Anti-woke and wife bad.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 101 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hate gays and DEI so much you can take my wife.

give a man someone to feel superior to and you can take the shirt off his back

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Basically the motto of the south since the founding.

Jesus fucking hell. You really can only partially fault Melon Husk or Trumpeteer for this shit, I mean people seem to actively want to get exploited, hard.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

goes to fetlife and finds "exploit me daddy!" as one of the kinks

.....the fuck?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 56 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, and the mother of the girl who died from measles filmed an RFK anti-vaccine commercial where she says the other 4 of her children that got measles survived so it's not that scary.

They are no longer humans. They are programmed machines.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope she knows this.

She could probably do better just amongst the available men in her detention center.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My guess is this is a dude who was convinced that “white American women are too sexual so you should find a tradwife in another country,” and I’m surprised there’s not more stories like this. But at the end of the day all the “I need a tradwife” dudes would rather get on their knees and swallow for trump, so here we are

Edit: turns out they met just through work, which makes this almost more shitty that this dude is so willing to buy into the fascism

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

OK, I am all for outrage over the guy not having any remorse, buuuuuut:

In February, Muñoz and Bartell traveled to Puerto Rico to finally take their honeymoon, and upon returning to the U.S. mainland, immigration agents stopped Muñoz and asked whether she was an American citizen. When she explained that she wasn't but was in the process of obtaining a green card, they detained her.

They left the country without her having a green card at the moment? Am I reading this right? How would you think that is a wise idea? ~~And I am aware Puerto Rico is in a grey zone with US citizenship, she still seemed to need a Green card and knew that, so despite that you leave? Risky.~~

Edit: corrected something that I got wrong.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. This shouldn't be a grey zone.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

~~So why did she need a Green card then?~~

She is Peruvian, not Puerto Rican, so she does need a Green card and that has nothing to do with Puerto Rico itself. My bad.

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because she's Peruvian. She got arrested while returning to the US mainland from a US territory, which they might have thought wouldn't have them encountering ICE agents.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

Ah, I am so dense. I did read she is Peruvian but then the Puerto Rico info overrode that bit in my brain. Thanks for pointing that out.

Damn who could have possibly guessed

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Who fucking cares?

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

His wife doesn’t deserve this, but he sure as fuck does. I hope she uses this as an opportunity to reconsider at least one choice.

[–] BookSnob@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago

What absolute scrotal cancers.

[–] circuitfarmer 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

...you might be an asshole.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you have a lisp when typing Jeff's name?

[–] circuitfarmer 4 points 1 week ago
[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Of course he doesn't, he's got TDS.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago
[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Of course he doesn't regret it. These people are inhuman cunts.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Both are MAGA so this is LAMF moment too.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Off by one. Boomers kids are becoming grandparents now

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a Rodney Dangerfield skit in there

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd rather hear the George Carlin version.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

I wish we still had him

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Another illegal taken care of, how quickly we moved from gang members and rapists to some Maga guy's sex slave. It was almost like deporting criminals was just an excuse to deport checks notes anyone brown or who disagrees with full on fascism.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

She will no longer want him.
