Joe Manchin & his daughter Heather Bresch ex CEO of Mylan the maker of the Epipen, is what is completely wrong with our country & American politics.

Senator Manchin’s own daughter priced gouged a life saving drug by 500%.

How does a Senator explain this to his constituents?
Heather Bresch raised the price of a drug that saves lives. Some of those lives he’s supposed to represent in congress. His daughter received millions in bonuses from Mylan for raising Epipen costs.

How can a parent raise this child & be proud of her actions?
My daughter has severe nut allergies & has used Epipens her whole life. She used one as recently as December, two weeks after her birthday.

She had yogurt that unfortunately had almond milk in it. The epipen didn’t work & she passed out on the bathroom floor white as a ghost.
I hear my wife screaming for an ambulance and I rush to see my little girl lying on the floor with her eyes rolled back gasping for air.

I tried 7 times to enter the passcode on my iPhone to call for an ambulance. For some reason I kept putting in the wrong number.
I finally opened my phone and called 911.

The paramedics came and rushed her to the hospital.

I fortunately could afford epipens when they were $600 BUT I think of all the people who couldn’t.

I can’t imagine those families living without a drug that could save lives.
How many people died who couldn’t afford an Epipen?

Meanwhile Heather Bresch received $20 million in bonuses for her price gouging for all the money she made for Mylan.
If people think I’m being hard on Senator Joe Manchin and his daughter...

Then just look at this picture of my little girl in the emergency room.
Side note:

My daughter in the ambulance overheard the EMT saying, “What the hell is that guy doing? He’s running every red light behind us?!!

The other EMT said,
“It’s a dad thing, you wouldn’t understand!”
And my daughter smiled in the ambulance knowing her parents were right behind her in a car willing 2 break every law 2 make sure she was okay & not alone!

In my defense it was 1am in the morning & I looked both ways before running every red light!

Hey @realDonaldTrump...

For the love of our country, can you please just STFU and walk away while you’re ahead.

You’ve evaded impeachment,
Sedition, rape, perjury, tax evasion and Vietnam just to name a few.
Your lack of action in dealing with the coronavirus has also lead to the death of almost 300,000 Americans and counting.
You might as well add Negligent Homicide to your list of crimes.

Seems like Felonious Trump should’ve been your God given name! #FeloniousTrump
You’ve done nothing but divide our country and the world in your 4 years in office. Our allies no longer ally with us and our enemies no longer fear us.
The division you’ve created has
spread to every corner of this country. Like an abscess diseased and infested with MAGATS.

DIOS MIO From a Bereft Latino
-Kirk Acevedo

Question? Why can’t a Latino save the world? Why can’t a Latino woo and win the girl? Why can’t a Latino ever hold the keys to the magic kingdom? Find the cure for cancer. Be the star who owns the cute dog in a rom/com?
I’ve played or have been offered
so many of the same three parts.
It’s like this, onscreen I will either
ROB, RAPE or KILL YOU
and then eventually die in the end.
The mundane sameness is soul numbing for an artist.
I mean hand to God I don’t know how many times I can play dying differently.
(I’ve died 19 times on screen💀🔪)
Truly, my reel that gets sent out to producers and studios is like, “Here’s me dying in a blue shirt, here’s me dying in a green shirt...”
