Comment:

 Hi @psoluch,

 I agree that it's a little strange to display the bulk actions options if
 you can't actually use any of them. I would think we'd probably want to
 handle this directly in the list table classes instead of trying to remove
 the element after the fact with JavaScript.

 I've added [attachment:29789.diff] which handles hiding bulk actions for
 the posts list table, and would be a good starting point for patching the
 other list tables, if you're interested.
