I didn't see the speed limiter was install but not activated.

Did you read the article I posted? There's a safety feature - Positive Train Control - that would have slowed the train. It was installed but not operational yet.
They shouldn't have been taking passengers until it was fully operational.

I don't understand global politics but Russia seem to have had a strategic relationship with Egypt for sometime.

I don't understand global politics but Russia seem to have had a strong relationship with Egypt for a long time.

Probably only pricing and they are the low bidder.

Posted about that earlier, this is on Congress:

Positive Train Control was not activated in this latest derailment - https://www.aar.org/policy/positive-train-control

Lawmakers agree to extend automated train deadline by 3 years

"This five year extension of life-saving technology is way too long, with way too little guarantee that PTC implementation will get done," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in a statement."

Republican Party seems to be the Anti-American, Anti-Allies, Anti-World Party

They continually vote against Americans. From environment issues, to Net Neutrality, to the budget, to health care. Whatever Americans favor, Republicans vote the other way.

To Jerusalem:

U.N. Votes Overwhelmingly To Condemn U.S. Decision On Jerusalem

By a 128-9 vote Thursday, the diplomats gathered in New York City ignored U.S. objections and approved a nonbinding resolution calling on countries to avoid moving their embassies to Jerusalem.

Decisions by committee are stupid. What does wasting time for a bunch of bureaucrats sitting around a big circle voting on a decision have to do with American interests?

Screw the UN, its a constant failure. Take away their diplomatic privledges and evict them out of NYC and their entire foreign lobby cartel out of DC.

Nothing wrong with becoming insular and isolationists. Being the world’s police force hasn’t worked out very well has it?

Back-flips. I suspect is more of a horse and pony show.

Gutless allies like Canada and Mexico abstained instead of voting no. Tiptoeing around the fact the Israel isn't actually going to be pushed into the Mediterranean.

Nikki Hailey speaking on the vote. I will point out she did straight up lie about the decision reflecting the will of the American people, since polls show most Americans not favoring this move:

Nikki Haley: U.S. "will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation...We will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more."

Nothing wrong with becoming insular and isolationists.

Eh.

Next Dem President will have to come in and clean up the mess the Republicans leave behind again. Might be too much damage.

"Israeli diplomats: US, South Sudan, Guatemala, Togo, Nauru, Kiribati, Palau, Marshal Islands will vote against the UNGA resolution on Trump's Jerusalem announcement"

Hey, Naura, Kiribati, Palau still love us, powerhouses.

"Kiribati, an island republic in the Central Pacific" haha

Our homies Togo, always sticking with us, much respect.

Nikki Haley ✔ @nikkihaley
At the UN we're always asked to do more & give more. So, when we make a decision, at the will of the American ppl, abt where to locate OUR embassy, we don't expect those we've helped to target us. On Thurs there'll be a vote criticizing our choice. The US will be taking names.

Justin Trudeau is Muslim compliant, so no big surprise there...

Rosie O'Donnell Violates Federal Law, Offers To Bribe Republican Senators To Vote Against Tax Bill

Late on Tuesday evening, as Republicans moved to pass a historic tax reform package, Rosie O’Donnell — nemesis of Donald Trump and former television star — tweeted out offers of bribery to Republican senators to vote down the bill. She didn’t just do it once. She did it over and over again:

7 posts/memes in a row. Gilsan is triggered. Oh 8 now, another one while I was posting. He always does this when Trump is having a bad day.

And this guy is still a mess
Roy Moore, who still has yet to concede, is posting conspiracies and going after Doug Jones' gay son on Facebook

But Moore has posted links to his Facebook page discussing "How Muslims and Marxists delivered for Doug Jones" and that "Doug Jones's Gay Son Is 'Thrilled' by the Alabama win."

"Roy Moore is taking his loss well," tweeted CNN's Andrew Kaczynski on Thursday, pointing out Moore's Facebook posts.
