    What government agency isn't incompetent or corrupt.

    • @tbest29
      @tbest29 Рік тому +1

      All government agencies are competent. The coast guard is not an agency. The coast guard is extremely competent.
      The FBI is competent as is the DOJ.
      You are just anti-government aka Traitor.

    Why is dereliction of duty no longer a punishable offense? It happens at every level of government, yet nothing ever seems to be done about it.

    The Coast Guard academy never had this problem until women started attending the academy. I suggest that men stop applying to go the the Coast Guard academy until they figure out what the problem is. There are other military academies to go to besides the Coast Guard.

      I don't get people who think like you guys. Mr. Trump was a jerk & Mr. Cruz was a gentleman. What was the advantage for Cruz to be a jerk right back? Would that have been good for our country? No! Mr. Cruz has done a great job in Congress & his work has helped conservatives. Would it have been better for American families if Cruz fought Trump's agenda? No! He took it on the chin and didn't hold a grudge and that helped conservative values.
      Mr. Cruz didn't stomp his feet like a two year-old. He didn't stick out his tongue & say "You weren't nice to me so I'm gonna take my toy and go home". That wouldn't have helped anything but it would have hurt you and me.

      His job is oversight, and to pass laws, not to bring charges; that's the DOJ's job. Yes, Biden's DOJ, ran by Merrick Garland.
