“The dodo bird was a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius and became extinct in the late 17th century, primarily due to human activities such as hunting and habitat destruction. It is often used as a symbol of extinction and the impact of human interference on wildlife.” (AI)
The dodo was not a bloodthirsty beast. They were omnivores that primarily ate fruits, nuts, seeds, bulbs, and roots. They may, however, have also consumed small invertebrates like crabs and shellfish (reference).
If you call someone a dodo bird you may mean that they are acting like a person who is about to become extinct. However if you say they are a dodo it can have several even less flattering meanings (see reference)
Yesterday we learned the following:
The dodo bird didn’t destroy or disrupt lies the way DOGE did. But like DOGE it did become extinct, or so we’re supposed to believe.
A web inquiry says that “approximately 300,000 federal employees have been laid off due to the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration. This includes significant job cuts across various federal agencies, with many employees being encouraged to resign or take early retirement.” In May The Hill reported that half the layoffs in the country were due to DOGE cuts.
By coincidence reports indicate that DOGE cuts to USAid have been blamed for approximately 300,000 deaths, the same number as jobs lost. Most of those who died were children. Due to cuts that eliminated or otherwise impacted critical programs that support health and well-being. (see, DOGE’s big illusion: the heavy costs of the Trump administration’s so-called efficiency.)
I rather doubt that Trump has shown DOGE the door because he had a flash of compassion. He never even cared about government efficiency. It was just something he could to to show how powerful he was. He liked being best big buds with Elon despite the lunatic leaper looking ridiculous in Oval Office photo ops. I don’t think the fact that DOGE was getting bad press bothered him at all. He probably liked this because he thought he was owning the libs.
I’m pretty sure DOGE has gone dodo because his personal relationship with Musk got moldy, mold of the really stinky kind.
All in all it is a good thing they are gone. Damage done. Good riddance.
