A bunch of dinosaurs get together to complain about how no one listens to them anymore, & to laugh at the very notion of there being a ‘comet’ in the sky. The head dinosaur wears a very uncivilised jacket.

So, just to clarify: a Trump executive order led to a bunch of perfectly competent people being fired because they weren’t white or male enough, which meant that, at Reagan that night, one person was doing two people’s jobs, which was at least a significant factor in what led to the crash.
