      Kentucky has a Democrat governor which is likely the reason.

        Which is crazy because Kentucky typically bleeds red.

    Todd County: 78.4% for Trump Christian County: 66.1% for Trump Leslie County: 89.7% for Trump

    They’ll just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

    Sending thots and players.

      Christian, Todd, and Leslie Counties. They’re listed in this PDF linked from the article.

      …it has been determined that the impact to the individuals and households in Christian and Todd Counties is not of the severity and magnitude to warrant their designation under the Individual Assistance program. In addition, it has been determined that the damage to the infrastructure in Leslie County is not of the severity and magnitude to warrant its designation under the Public Assistance program.

        Christian, Todd and Leslie

        Sounds like the extremely white offspring of extremely white people. The kind that each have their own dressage horse.
