It's not just the grandstanding that's bothersome. It is these alphabet organizations like the ATF and FBI (that is costing us hundreds of millions of dollars a year) who are great at harassing law abiding citizens and seem clueless when someone starts bombing innocents. I mean look at Cruz? How much more of a warning did the FBI need?

One recent trend in press conferences is that no one stands up there alone anymore; they are always backed up by a crowd of other officials or “average citizens,” usually including several “people of color.” I think this is a leftist thing, to show that the speaker is backed up by, and is speaking for, “the people.”
