It can't be slander when it's clearly visible.

googly eyed chud

“Googly-eyed kremlin bitch” is iconic

Throwback to lemmyshitpost meme

The judge saw that Stewartson was a poet.

In June 2023, Patel filed a complaint that Stewartson was smearing him online by calling him a “blatantly incompetent chud” and a “Kremlin asset” who plotted to “overthrow the government” on January 6, 2021.

Initially, Stewartson didn’t respond to the lawsuit, which led to Patel winning a $250,000 default judgment in August 2025. Stewartson challenged the default judgment on the grounds that he had no meaningful ties to Nevada, where the case was filed, and declared that Patel was a “googly-eyed Kremlin bitch” and, again, a “chud.”

Stewartson celebrated the final order, which referenced his comment in a footnote. “I’d like to commend the judge for including ‘googly-eyed Kremlin bitch’ in his ruling,” Stewartson wrote on X Tuesday.

Isn’t he supposed to be leading the friggin FBI, and instead he spends his time throwing hissy fits over what someone says about him online? That’s the best this administration can do? What a googly-eyed Kremlin bitch.

Honestly it probably worse if he was competent. Imagine how dangerous the administration would be if they could actually use the FBI to its fullest extent. It's probably better that you're stuck with this international laughing stock.

And a chud!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 3 points 2 days ago

That's the president's example that the googly eyed Kremlin bitch is following

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember when he couldn't log into his work computer once, and panicked thinking he'd been fired when it was just a minor glitch?

Talk about insecurity.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anytime anyone calls up to get their password reset the standard joke is to always ask them if they're sure they haven't been fired.

Fucking Googly-Eyed Chud. The judge took one look at him and said, "oh yeah. I get that. Case dismissed!"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, it's not defamation if it's true.

Lmfao honestly, he couldn’t be more of a consummate tool if he tried. And he’s not trying. He just is that way. What an absolute fuckwit.

[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

LOL fuck that googley-eyed chud

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

......wait, do you think googly-eyes is a google product?

Googly eyed Kremlin bitch Patel needs to be trending somewhere.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

I like how "googly-eyed" is in quotes, but "Chud" is not. Implying the googly-eyed part was a direct quote, but the Chud part is just newrepublic.com tacking on.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

I’m assuming they dropped this before discovery so they didn’t have to release the fact that his gf was paid by a foreign entity?

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

We have a whole community "degoogle yourself". Maybe he needs that.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

…wait, do you think googly-eyes is a google product?

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well I use duckduckgo instead of google. Maybe that makes me a ducky-eyed chud, heh.

In the 80s there was a movie called CHUD. It stood for Cannibalistic Underground Human Dwellers. Seems about right.

Edit. Its Cannibalistic Human Underground Dwellers

Cannibalistic Underground Human Dwellers

CUHD

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oops cannibalistic human underground dwellers*

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Just blame it on the googly eyes.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The tagline on the poster was, "Cannibalistic. Humanoid. Underground. Dwellers."

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Bruh is note remotely close to intimidating enough to be called a chud.

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 5 points 2 days ago

I'm glad the judge knew what a googly-eyed Kremlin bitch looks like.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 5 points 2 days ago

The only thing Stewartson was guilty of was accurate reporting.
