Well none of us are nevada trust and  estate lawyers and NV law governs that. 

Nevada also apparently had a liberal estate code but I don't know what that means for altering what in all likelihood is an irrevocable trust. 

This.  I haven't a clue, and the linked article didn't shed a lot of light on his arguments for changing the terms of a presumably irrevocable trust.  

 

That said, I'd place the odds somewhere in between the likelihood of two pair and that of successfully navigating an asteroid field.

@SydneyCarton Murdoch agreed in his divorce to give the then-living children equal control of Fox. Now he's trying to give it to just one of the kids. I highly doubt any judge will go with him on that. There are only very limited exceptions allowing one party to unilaterally change an agreement/contract and I don't see anything here that comes close. Not a divorce lawyer but that is what my spidey sense tells me. Then again, Murdoch is the kind of guy that might be able to buy his preferred outcome.

It's just like Succession.  Ex wife is going to sign the docs and fuck over the kids in exchange for a villa in the south of France.

Hmm.  If I were black I would just want to be better than Marvin Gaye.

Imagine Harris talking about some crazy white dude running for governor somewhere. And she, seriously, says "I think he's better than George Washington".

An old friend of mine who also happens to be an elected official in a swing state just called me.  We spent the first 90 seconds on the call just laughing.

Weird way to confess that you used to bang Kari Lake, but you do you.

If Robinson says he’s staying in the race I bet he’s out by noon tomorrow.

As I understand it, Rupert has two arguments. All trustees will benefit because Lachlan will preserve the right wing tilt and Fox News will only do well if it's operating as a wing of the far right. Also, the lack of agreement between the trustees will lead to rudderless leadership which itself will degrade the asset. It doesn't seem possible that these arguments could fly but who knows, it's some NV probate judge making the decision.

i bet that’s exactly what he does: wait until after midnight so the statutory deadline passes and then burns the entire thing down by stepping aside in an act of retribution.  
 

delicious it would be…

CNN brought the receipts that it's him posting on all of those sites. Unless he had someone intentionally impersonating him for 20+ years on these sites, well before he was publicly known, it's him.

Like others have said, I worry there is a chance that someone sane will replace him on the ballot, which may help Trump and get the GOP in the governor's seat. Too bad CNN didn't wait a couple of more weeks. Perhaps there was someone else about the break the story as well.

I'm sure the NCGOP is currently filing a suit in Judge Reed O'Connor's federal district right now to update the ballots ASAP. (Just kidding)

That reminds me of Waco in the 80s-90s.  As you crest a hill on the northern edge on southbound 35, first thing you saw was

On this building that presumably contained same.

Austin had and probably still has a few of these places.

Ok but why wouldn't Stein's campaign sit on this until tomorrow just to be sure no dropping out??

i'm sure someone else has said it in this thread but just in case, very doubtful that this was a result of the stein campaign...much more likely the republican party in NC got wind of this and forced it out prior to the deadline to withdraw in an effort to try and get him switched up.

He’s a drag on Trump’s chances to win. Republicans wan him out.

I love how these Republican dopes lose so many winnable elections by nominating awful candidates. Dr Oz, Herschel, Kari Lake, Couchfucker Vance, but Robinson has got to be their worst.

Christine McDonnell or whatever was up there. Blake Masters. The guy in Ohio that said women can will themselves to not get pregnant during a rape. The list is pretty strong

And they didn’t care about Robinson being the worst because he was Black and they’d rather use him to say “SEE WE’RE NOT RACIST” instead of looking at who the fuck type of person he is

Oh, the Democrats have done it, too. Remember 2016? And how many decent candidates have TX Dems put up for senator?

Would love to see Rupert lose this case so he can’t control Fox News from beyond the grave. Not to mention that Fox News could effectively change direction any day now.

SIAP, why Rupert can’t decide today who runs Fox News after his death is because he set up this structure when divorcing his second wife in the 90s. He gave his then 4 children future control including the daughter from an earlier marriage. I’ve read the later two daughters, by Wendi Deng,  get equal financial benefits but no control over Fox News. They’re excluded from the NV lawsuit.

Ain't clicking shit. Who is Ashley Madison and why does she have email addresses on her?

Ashley Madison was like craigslist but focused on finding affairs. A few years ago there was a massive data leak and all e-mail addresses tied to accounts were exposed.

According to the Politico article, Mark Robinson had an e-mail address that was on the list of people with Ashley Madison accounts, which strongly suggests he was trying to find someone to have an affair with.
