greatest as in influence in power? Who nows. Gotta take into account the context of each empire, etc. There have been many of those.
As far as size, I think the English empire was the biggest one ever. In second coming the Mongolian empire perhaps? That was a tongue-in-cheek manner of me referring to Middle Eastern countries |

Some of it, sure, but the fact that there are about two dozen countries on earth that haven't been invaded by the UK at one point or another means they did their job way better.
Curious who'll be playing the fiddle this time. There are only 22 Countries in the World the British Haven't Invaded.

At one point the sun never stopped shining on the British Empire.
As a friend of mine's grandpa said: "Cause God didn't trust us in the dark." |

A more credible and longer list would be of countries they have never conquered or annexed. |

I'll always remember Trump for his WWE feud with Vicne McMahon in 2007. The Battle of Billionaires. He did well at playing the "good guy" in that storyline. Which is a testament to how good of a villain Mr. McMahon is. Trump even threw money at the audience!
So if Trump is a good guy in WWE then surely he must be one in real life as well, right? I mean wrestling is not fake now is it? |

It'll be interesting to see how much in value the Dollar drops after our own election in November. And by interesting, I mean....I'll be paying off as much of my debt as humanly possible between now and then, just to be safe.

There's that, too. I would be so embarrassed to have my country be "lead" by a ****ing reality tv star. The fact that it's even gotten this close is... sad. Really hoping for him to announce Sarah Palin as his running mate. |

Pallin was what killed any chance McCain would have of beating Obama in 2008. Then again Obama had a good propaganda machine behind him. I still remember how everyone was on his bandwagon back in the day, buying into his "Change" slogan and the whole "a black man as president of the USA would be so cool!". He was able to sucker in people that easily |

The UK's exit has put new life in the Texas secession movement. But, there's only about less than 1% of the population in it.
My father made a comment that this would throw a "monkey wrench" into thing, and it's only starting.

Now THIS. This is something I will watch with morbid curiosity.

It's because I don't think it'll get further than ridiculous posturing, and seeing a bunch of Anti-Government people forced to live off the dole when they're tossed in jail.

I'd like a Trump/Obama or Obama/Trump comedy hour once a week. I would like that very much. |

Trump is basically the closest thing to a real life comic book or cartoon supervillain. All he needs is an army of robots.

Just imagine the two of them having a no holds barred debate. Or maybe we could put them in a room together, where they try and prepare thanksgiving dinner. I think that's the first episode. EPIC television. Hilary couldn't even take Bernie, she'll be destroyed by Trump in the upcoming debates. Obama would destroy him. |
